We do a few things to alleviate this, I'm not sure if they are enough for scale:

1. Daily call with everyone where we talk about our private lives for the most part (30m call, 28m private life talk: everyone has to tell something they did for fun last week)

2. Very active chat, with many non-work channels

3. A 'watercooler' hangout, where people join to just casually talk over video chat

You're describing everything I hate, and which made me love remote to get rid of it. And you even increase the amount of time lost in those useless and horrible things.
