I believe fiction is the only way around your dilemma. Don't write about your brother's wedding, write about a medieval prince who has to go to a cyberpunk funeral between two sentient robots who are about to sacrifice themselves to achieve singularity. In there a reader will find the same truths, but maybe not think to harass your brother about it or look up pics of the bride on Facebook (or whatever other shit we worry will come from exposing our loved ones to the internet).

The future of content for people who care will likely go along these lines: fiction that allows us to be more honest. You will find catharsis not in the posts of real people with fake feeds, but in a fake 3D cat cartoon who is honestly spilling her guts about how unresolved guilt over her dead mother haunts her marriage.

youre right but it feels less intimate

True, although there's nothing less intimate than not communicating at all. I'd rather take your fable of the scorpion and weasel than no fable.
