G+ is a very public forum and not the same as LJ (IMO).
Because you are in the world of Google the folks at G+ have made it so if people add you and you are not a member you will still get the email on the topic, but not be able to comment.
This might be a good thing if you don't want to join, but want the notices. Or if you don't want to get the emails you can join and then not look at it to keep the spam down. The third option is to filter G+ emails so you can just ignore it all.
I have joined, but am not sure how it will be part of my daily world.
