You opted out, but they didn't

Which is still an issue. "Opting-out" means opting-out not halfway opting-in.

It's not perfect, but at least you're only seeing others' activity.

There's hopefully a "discover" email notification you can disable. I haven't been bothered enough to check yet. Worst case, it could be filtered out pretty easily.
