L'evento funzionerà nello stesso modo.

Sarà un modo per conoscerci in modo significativo, cosa che su altri social è più difficile fare.

Ma soprattutto: è un evento che sottolinea la natura non competitiva di LS.

Il più grande inganno dei social commerciali è che per scrivere/disegnare/cantare dobbiamo essere professionistə in grando di monetizzare.
