answer:I’ve noticed this recently, too. To make it so you don’t see other people’s stuff: You hover over your friend’s name, then over “friends”, then click on “settings” and uncheck “comments and likes”. I’m pretty sure you’d have to ask everyone on your friends list to deselect “likes and comments” for your account, to make it so nobody you don’t know sees your statuses. And there’s no guarantee all of them will do it, or even see your request. Maybe strict privacy settings will do the job? I’m not entirely certain.
