1) Sometimes, yes, and sometimes they were incredibly frustrating. those would be:

  a) notifications that random people commented after i commented or "liked" another post. stop those, facebook. those notifications are pointless and annoying. 

  b) facebook message notifications. i refuse to download messenger. facebook messages should be reachable within the facebook app. i don't want two apps to do one thing. don't let me read messages in facebook? fine. i'm not fuckin' reading my messages til i get to a non-mobile screen. 
2) I have discovered that absolutely no facebook notification is so urgent that i actually need to be notified when it comes through, and absolutely none of them warrant being checked immediately or in fact even within hours. the quality of my attention has increased even if only in relation to facebook.

3) I feel better caring less about facebook.

4) If only I could do this for text messages specifically with the friends that tend to talk too much about nothing. (Seriously, you're one of my best friends, but when I'm at work, I really don't care when you send me 4 text messages in a row about how you need to turn some famous cute male celebrity gay for you. Actually, scratch that. I do care. I become infuriated and start growling at my phone to stop texting me. So yeah...that could help..."but I'd miss something important" - would I? would I really? always the weigh-off)
