Facebook – How to stop notifications when people ‘like’ the post

Facebook has standardised this with a feature called Get Notifications, which is accessible from the arrow menu in the top right corner of a post. To get notifications from a post on a friends wall, open the detail page of the wall post by clicking on the post timestamp (i.e. 2hrs) and repeat the same procedure with Get Notifications again.

You can either un-friend anyone you wish to prevent from seeing your updates, or you need to create a group of all your friends with whom you want to share you updates and then when you update, select the drop down to the left of the post button and select custom -> share to the group which excludes your friend.

Also, you could make him an acquaintance and share to friends excluding acquaintances.
