The ever-present possibilty of open-sourcing on github and getting code-reviewed by future employers hangs over my head like the sword of Damocles.

That's one of the reasons I no longer use Github. I don't want every line of code I write to be used as part of a hiring filter, much less just the languages I'm tagged with or the number of stars in my repos or in anything I contribute to.

The more useless social media BS Github piles onto its site the more it becomes the new Linkedin... no thanks.

That sounds a bit like fretting over the fine details of which clothes to wear. There's a good chance the other party is not that interested, and does not dwell on or even notice these things.
