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

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.

Then who have I been verbally abusing on Twitter?! I owe @danlevy an apology.

Oh, course. So many ugly replies to almost everything.

R1 Man you'd think you might want to know that a channel that pretends to progressive was being homophobic not too long ago. I guess not. Don't complain about it unless you get murdered?

[quote] “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?'"

I deactivated by Twitter today on the road to deletion too. Me and Dan.

I love Dan Levy.

Even if he still needs to lose those extra pounds to fit properly into his fabulous wardrobe.

But around me he can keep it off!

What he said about Twitter holds true for Datalounge. So it begs the question, Is Datalounge good for you?

Me too Dan. Twitter is aggressively pushing right wing messaging and some of the world's most heinous people troll there. Datalounge is uber mild in comparison.

DL is heading there but there are still moments of fun and insights shared here that you won’t find on Twitter.

Why can't people leave social media without announcing it?

Fame whores are exhausting.

The best thing that ever happened to twitter was this ugly idiot leaving it. Good riddance.

We got Trump and all that has ensued, partly because of Twitter and Facebook, why are people still using such stupid mind controlling things? It's an obvious addiction to me, and yet it's still there because we constantly hear about here all the time.

....asks R14 on an internet forum.

I wonder how long before he’s back on Twitter, tho.

Wish he would post more thirst traps.

Any vids of him rubbing one out?

Barely any pics of him without 3 sweaters on…. 😵‍💫

So, he agrees that his work is overrated?

Somebody said Schitts Creek was overrated and he went into hysterics and flounced? Yeah, that tracks.

Well… if he was that upset about someone calling Schitt’s creek “overrated” on a night of when he was feeling “vulnerable,” he would be inpatient hospitalized upon reading the comments on datalounge.

[quote] Can we all admit Schitt’s Creek was overrated?

Jesus Christ, that is NOT toxic. That is a legitimate question. It's called discussion, Dan. It's called DISCOURSE.

But that would be considered toxic by a thin-skinned nepo baby.

*Don’t anyone dare criticize his commercials for Verizon, or whatever it is!*

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.

We all know those personality types. Not easy.

Eugene Levy seems very sweet. The mother was probably intense.

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?

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.

All the Levy family needs to be swallowed/devoured by Christina Metz.

Hate leaving twitter. Been on for years and never got into too many arguments. The magats did get me banned from periscope by mass reporting.

Twitter is not a thing for 99% of the population. Ms Levy can virtue signal all she wants but no one cares.

What got him off social media was reading "Can we all admit Schitt’s Creek was overrated?"? LOLOL.

Like a lot of people, I love/hate twitter. It's addictive and useful but also impossible not to hit comments or petty shit that's unbelievably stupid or frustrating.

I said this about DL after we came back from the Xmas/NY Primetime. I'm still here.

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

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.

He joined Tik Tok instead. For some reason DL won't let me link to it. He posted one about UFOs and another one about a filter. Hopefully no one comments that he's overrated.

[quote] 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.

It’s only that if you want it to be, if you treat it that way.

DL isn’t similar to other social media accounts because most posts are anonymous. Only a few people post their handles and there’s no picture/bio attached. I had to get off of Facebook because it’s all about narcissists getting their daily fix.

[quote]Can we all admit Schitt’s Creek was overrated?

At around 30 min, he talks about deuxmoi but also mentions Datalounge without naming it. He even mentions anonymity here.

That smirk!!!!!!

Somebody smack it for the love of God!!!

The actual best thing he could do would be to rent a lawnmower and trim those eyebrows down to human scale.

Who gives a fuck about Twitter?

R39 NO-ONE should ever mention us out in the sober daylight of the real world. We are a sewer-dwelling secret cabal and it should remain that way forever.

[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.

He should be embarrassed. What a childish mess.

Most of Twitter are bots and always have been. To give power to these bots is all kinds of stupid.

“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.

MARY!!!!!!!!!

Remember his Twitter hysteria over Air France switching his seat without any notice? That was constructive.

Good for him. I'm only on it to get tweets from Ukraine.

R4 Were you drunk when you wrote that?

I still think one of you bitches was behind this.

I forgot it was a week early r48. Basically taking up a lot of time with his nonsense when people could have been helping customers that were flying that day. God, what a temperamental bitch he is. I would love to hear stories from the set of Schitt's Creek.

[quote]r31 What got him off social media was reading "Can we all admit Schitt’s Creek was overrated?"? LOLOL.

You bitch!

He specifically wrote, “It was late at night. I was feeling particularly vulnerable.”

[bold] ! ! ! !

[quote] He specifically wrote, “It was late at night. I was feeling particularly vulnerable.”

This is what Private Eye Magazine in the UK refers to as a celebrity "feeling tired and emotional."

***surreptitiously makes 'drinky-drinky' gesture***

Vulnerable delicate flower.

Maybe Jamie Lee Curtis can soothe him.

Are we sure he's not a lesbian?

I remember walking into work one day and someone asked me what I did on the weekend," he said. "I said, 'Well, I installed a dimmer switch in my apartment.' And that person said, 'Wow, it's almost like you're a real man.'"

like seriously, could someone explain to me how that's

a. homophobic

b. someone would be scarred by that?

He’s onto bigger and better things.

I have NEVEr used twitter for anything more than seeing naked pictures of pron stars. never undestood the value of it otherwise

Can’t stand him and his cuntface

He played David like he "was almost a man". Great insult.

Why does DL hate him? I can't remember. DL has a lot of random hates.

I don't have Twitter or Instagram or Facebook or any of that mess.

I'm not missing out on anything, it's all boring as hell. Just something that boring people keep themselves busy with, thank God most of the world (80%) doesn't have Twitter and doesn't want it. The people who think it's "important" are the circle jerkers who fritter away hours every day on the damn thing.

Stupid entertainment for stupid people.

Less than 1% of the population is on Twitter.

r61 oh, look at virtue signaling you trying to be trendy.

here

*everybody claps*

I don't want your fucking claps you stupid bitch.

Go back to trolling on Twitter and "social media" since it's the only social life you're ever going to have.

R61 Very few octogenarians are on any social media. So the fact you are not on any means absolutely nothing.

Very cute back in the day

Ms Dan Levy was never cute. He doesn't have the genes to make that possible. Plus those horrid eyebrows. Yuck.

Mary!

He's less adorable and sympathetic than he believes he is.

r64 Will you write a poem for me, if I do, or at the very least, up your game.

lashing out like a fourteen year old with delusional fantasies about your perceived enemies is kind of cray.

I like Dan Levy. Where's that French guy who was in love with him?

Frenchie

I’m ecstatic that there are fewer places to see him.

Only Sam Smith grosses and repulses me more than this queen.

Samantha Smith and Danielle Levy are whiny and play the victim. No thanks.

R75 How super clever of you to feminize both their names. You is no doubt da best raconteur on the DL EVER.

r76 Thanks Dan! Such big words you use!

I prefer da best racunteur, actually. This is DL after all.

R77 Give it up, girly. You aren't smart enough to get away with clever word play.

If you're not American Airlines then quit announcing your departures!

Has he never made a man come hard? That is better than leaving Twatter....

He’s in Milan. Curious whether his new movie will have sex scenes.

Yuck. I imagine having sex with a lifelike sex mannequin would be better and warmer and tighter than shtupping with Dan.

At least I know how to spell “the” r78.

This troll is Jabba level stupid. It prolly is Jabba. Da scourge of the DL.

Poor Dan is a cutie but so gay, too bad he didn't learn to butch it up like our Colto! He'll never be the man like Luke!

Twitter is dumpster fire so I don’t blame him

Thriving

Are we to guess from this that Miss Levy is not on DL, or is she a lurking DLer?

Does she read threads on herself here?

Because if so: Dan--I want to fuck your hot daddy so hard.

Well excuse you.

If only he would leave planet Earth.

He was the most annoying character in SC.

All the males sucked on SC. It was all about the girls. The only decent male was the cute vet who went to Ecuador in the end.

R92 I agree. Ted was hot to look at though.

Isn't Dan a Nepo baby too?

"Leaving Twitter is the best thing I've ever done."

He’s so fucking homely. Poor Miss Thang.

With Jamie Dornan

R94 Obviously, though I think the real get with that was Catherine O'hara agreeing to work on their show because of Eugene. Eugene's career was pretty dead before Schitt's Creek. He hadn't acted much in years and was doing American Pie sequels or other low budget shit. Hollywood wasn't exactly returning his calls

I'm dying for Twitter to go up in flames. It's become another Nazi app. People enter and, regardless of their interests, get videos of Black people being violent shoved down their throats immediately. What does Dave Chapelle think of what his friend did to Twitter, btw?

Granted deux moi is frau central but this is pretty funny

I think most celebs hate DM because she's a cunt who posts random stalker pics of them eating or makes up random shit.

They do and they don't. She posts a ton of shit from publicists at this point. My guess is that most of them suck it up and tolerate a dumb photo of from dinner, and keep their mouths shut, in order to use her when they need to.

She posted some blind item clearly written by his publicist last week about how he has nothing to do with the drama around "The Idol" and wants to distance himself from it because he only worked 2 days on set, etc.

Oh I agree, it's just her saying only assholes hate DM is silly since I'm sure 99% of celebs hate DM even if they will use it occasionally. That being said, the only real stories I've heard about him from DM is that he's demanding and bitchy, as expected. As far as celeb assholes go, probably pretty mild.

Twitter is a cesspool.

I quit Twitter too. I like Dan. I just don't want to see him or hear him. He should stick to writing and directing.

Elon Musk made twitter a cesspool.

Wow new look.

New look, old smirk

He would be the most needy, grasping boyfriend ever. Uggh.

When a gay man comes out, the knives come out on Datalounge.

DL is the only social media I bother with anymore. Haven’t missed the rest at all.

DL is not social media. It's 100% anonymous with no profiles. You can't "find" anyone on DL, let alone "follow" them. It's not analogous to Twitter or Facebook. It's not social media. It's a message board.

Poor Dan. He’s definitely one of the most ridiculous nepo babies ever.

....

He has a new eyewear collab

Schitt's Creek will be for Dan Levy what That Girl was for Marlo Thomas.

Lord have mercy.

R117 There are a million lezzies who look exactly like that right now. Beart included. His girlfriend looks common.

Beard

Impressive award-winning track record though

[quote]Steven Stokey-Daley reminisces about the first pair of glasses he ever had. “It’s not glamorous at all,” grimaces the 25-year-old Liverpudlian designer, winner of both last year’s LVMH Prize for young designers and the British Fashion Council’s Foundation Award.

He's got a cute baby face. He should lose some weight stat

Both of them are hotties!!

—no one likes him in toronto

Of course they don't. Small town mentality.

They might not like him in Toronto, but they seem to protect him because we get no real gossip about him.

It’s nice to see that Dan is dating a chub, I hope he takes him to red carpet events

Yes they are cute together - seem well matched

The best thing be could do is ditch the glasses.

Boyfriends in bed

r128 They're fully clothed and 1 kilometer apart.

This is a professional collaboration -- they're not dating.

He wouldn't post the pics if they were dating and would get this thread closed. It's for glasses they are both shilling.

Where’s Dan’s food in the r128 pic?

There are two plates on the tray, you twerp. Are you tryna be funny? You ain't muthafucka.

It’s always nice to just know you’re the Mary in the relationship.
