This is my belief too. I've thought about it a lot and traveled since birth - 57 years now. Out of the people people I encounter, 95%+ never see me and the 1% evil doers are too small to worry about. The cream is in the 4-5% of people who will step outside their life and connect.

The hitch to that plan is that the I get people close to me are often the least supportive.

I connect online now and see so many people referring to "others" by initials or denigrating nicknames. I try to help some but block the others. I have no time to change the whole world so I focus on those I can connect with.

Online that connection happened in tsu and still happens in fb groups. I think it might happen in Steemit. I have only been here a week, but I feel very hopeful.
