In your case you would have to go to an E-Mail list... which for some 
takes more time to curate / read versus something that is driven by push 
notifications.

Protips....

#1. BitlBee lets you access facebook messenger via IRC. You have to run 
the server and connect to it via localhost.

#2. mbasic.facebook.com is your friend on mobile if you don't run their 
messenger app but need to reach someone in a pinch.

Facebook was less annoying when they sent notificataion emails that 
contained the actual information versus no information and a link to try 
to lure you back.
