A lot of this is down to context, not our moral failings.

We moderate ourselves differently at the bar, with our boss, with our wife's aunt. Maybe you don't drag contentious politics to your inlaw's dinner chat or sex anecdotes into work conversations. The OP's point is about applying this moderation across the board, because on FB everything is. This context breeds a culture of banality.

This website is discussing a broader and scarier implication, but the what the OP is describing is already at full (I hope!) maturity.
