Dan Levy calls leaving Twitter 'the best thing I’ve ever done'

The Canadian actor spoke openly about leaving Twitter and the toxicity of social media.

so, how long do we give him until he returns or starts using another media account as he would have twitter. . . aside from regular media. Honestly, it might be the best thing he's ever done. . . he just seems to jerk himself off a lot and thinks about his tragic homophobic scars from once working at mtv. Seriously, you should read up on the tragic homophobia he faced only a few years after Matthew Shepard. It was so harrowing. so tragic.

People probably have to walk on eggshells around him. I’m guessing if you say anything he could construe as mean or offensive, you get the silent treatment or a very nasty response.

Why do people “leave Twitter?” Who’s “in Twitter” in the first place? Makes it sound like a country.

I follow a few people and post things from a few different accounts for promo purposes. I dip in, do my promo work, read a few tweets, and dip out.

What’s so potentially hard about that that one has to “leave” it?

by Anonymousreply 26February 22, 2023 12:26 PM

Twitter deliberately orchestrates confrontation. The other day a couple of friends were talking about how Johnny Depp started looking ill recently, and for no reason, one of their tweets ended up at the top of the search results for "Johnny Depp" and they got swarmed by Depp bots. They're nobodies with very few followers, there was no reason their casual conversation should have ended up at the top of search results, but it was there and it immediately caused a mass brigading.

Not to get all William Gibson, but it kind of is a 'place', in a metaphysical sense. It's a forum, in cyberspace, like a giant meeting hall full of screaming people clustered around various noticeboards, except it's virtual and non-corporeal.

And when someone sitting physically in the room with you is on Twitter via their phone or their PC, they look and sound and act like they're a million miles away.

[quote] “I have thousands of letters from people who have come out of the closet. Their parents have accepted them… I know that [Shchitt’s Creek] has done things for people in very meaningful ways. And then I read one stupid thing from someone on Twitter, and it makes me question all the work that I’ve done,” the 39-year-old shared.

“In that moment, it was late at night. I was feeling particularly vulnerable. I read this tweet from someone. I think it said something like 'Can we all admit Schitt’s Creek was overrated?'"

[quote]Levy adds that his reaction to the tweet was not about the show at all, but more in reaction to the way our culture has embraced tearing something down publicly “while asking others to join.”

[quote]“So, not only is what you’re saying not positive, not constructive, not helping anybody or anything. But you’re also now rallying other people to share in your hatred,” he said.
