They know whether you respond.
Unless they tag you in a post (in which case, you'd get a notification), I really don't know how many people respond to EVERY SINGLE post of EVERY SINGLE friend on facebook.
Are you aware that getting responses never is equivalent to being ignored, at least in most people's minds? On what planet do you live where people carry on a relationship that involves dead silence on one side?
