100% agree with you on this. I actually wrote this to share on twitter and try to get more people interested in what is going on. I was hoping that it would get a few shares among the crypto community and get people asking the questions at least.
I have only recently start using mainstream social media again with the sole aim of getting steem more widely known. I know the reason it has a bad name from when it was created but that was a long time ago and we have moved on from there. Every day those original accounts become less and less relevant to what we do here and the apps are a big part of that. They are changing the distribution of steem which can only be good in the long run.
If we all get involved we can get the right message out there and try to correct all of that false info being spread around. As you said we have thousands of people active every day and that can create huge waves.

Your point about the bad name of Steem originating from how it was created is a good one. We have come a long way, indeed. Rather than spend a lot of time on certain mainstream social media sites, I'd perhaps prefer googling up Steem and making surgical strikes, cutting the wings off of false pieces of information appearing in conversations.

That's an interesting approach actually. Especially if you were targeting crypto hotspots. Places that are influential towards the crypto world and the people involved. If you had a dedicated group of people operating in influential areas you could stop a lot of the false info before it gets going.
And while I've heard of hear of plenty people promoting the blockchain I haven't seen many talking about defending it in the way you have been.
