I haven't used Facebook for anything other than _chatting with family_ in more than a year. I still get "notifications" about things that I literally could not care any less about. Someone posted something on _their_ wall? I don't fucking care! Someone said something and it got a lot of attention? I literally hate that person, why are you telling me this? And... you might tell me that I could just unsubscribe. Yeah. I did, multiple times. The notifications still come. They just go to the spam bucket now. Facebook is one of the worst "products" on the market and I'm pretty close to telling family to find some other means of communicating with me. Like, you know, a good old fashioned phone call.

If you don't want to get exposed to the crap part, then just use messenger.com instead. I haven't been to Facebook.com in a while

I'm in pretty much the same situation - the main reason why I use Facebook is to message friends. Basically all my friends have Facebook, so it's the easiest way. Messenger seems to be moving more and more towards a snapchat clone, where as I just want something to message people. I don't want to post updates, play games, see ads, make phone calls, get spammed when someone new signs up. iMessage before iOS 10 was perfect, except not all my friends use Apple.
