I refuse to install Messenger, so I'm actually annoyed by FB's lack of notifications (by email) when I receive a FB message. It used to be the case that FB would email you the message text. They switched that to "you have a message, click here to see it," but now it seems to be completely random whether I'm ever notified. The immediate effect on my behavior is that I find myself logging in to FB frequently just in case I have a message, and then falling into the endless scroll of crap in my feed.
- free_everybody 9y agoUsed to happen to me all the time. Wondering if I got any Facebook messages, log on, spend half an hour wandering through the news feed. Big time suck.
- iak8god 9y agoI'd guess this is why they're sending message notifications only sporadically? I've been thinking of setting up a little service for myself to monitor the FB web interface messages and then forward their content by email so I never have to look at the damn thing.
