I normally use FB as a birthday reminder and sometimes group chat with friends who mainly use it to stay in touch. I recently joined a neighborhood group because there's been a bunch of property crime and we're all sharing camera footage and so on. Anyway, 85% of every thread is just other people's names. However, I don't seem to get email updates about these comments, just the more substantive ones. To me, it looks ridiculous and amateurish but at least I'm not getting tons of email spam.
