Comments may be good, I agree. For instance you can comment when 
somebody makes an announcement or opens a conversation which excludes 
people who don't use Facebook, pointing out the problems. You can also 
comment on posts which violate copyleft, which are plenty:

other hand it's difficult to do this while claiming you're not on Facebook.

Never comment on misleading posts or posts you disagree with, because 
activity and controversy make them more visible.

There was some report about this in the last few months from a former 
employee, claiming there was a permanent monitoring of posts with the 
word "Facebook" in them, and not just to listen to feedback. I couldn't 
find the exact source though:
