idk why is Lichess still used platfrom. The game annalisis aren´t good at all and ELO is frickingly inflated. For example my lichess elo is 1700, my chess.com elo is 1020 and my irl elo is 1398.

What is your user name on lichess?
Same. Lichess is less fun and less educating or wanted than Chess.com
But Lichess is also very good too
I do like puzzles and different variants of games

Why, and please be relevant and kind
chess.com has nicer UI. I don't like the minimal, clinical look of Lichess.
On Lichess there are about 20,000 rated players for the slower time controls
On chess.com there are over 22 million rated players for their slower time control, which perversely includes 10/0, likely the most popular "rapid" game. Probably 90% of these are beginners
So Lichess would seem to be a better forum for the serious player

The problem I have with chess.com is slow response time. Many times when playing blitz I notice that 5 seconds have elapsed as I made my fist move. Since most games follow standard openings, the first 8 - 10 moves are made without thinking by me. The lag is probably because of the number of users in my area overwhelming the server. In lichess the response is instantaneous.
Much has been made of "inflated" rattings on lichess since a player begins with a provisional 1500. I played a blitz game with someone with a provisional 1500 ratting, but after I defeated him his ratting was reduced by 175 points. There are lichess players who have played just a few games with high ratings, but as they play more games their "true" ratting will be revealed. Lichess players who have 1800+ ratings and have played at least a hundred games are very strong. I've lost games to these players without making any blunders or mistakes and just one or two inaccuracies. Lichess conducts regular blitz and bullet tournaments for those with ratings under 2000. What not enter one of these tournaments and see have weak these players are.

In china, you have resteraunts that serve foriegn food.
Chefs where exaggerated hats, use showmanship and swagger. It's like a performance and you go there to eat whatever foreign cuisine to be a man of the world, to banter and swagger yourself.
It's a cool kid club, and the food is secondary.
Chess.com is that, like the price tag, and the environment is part of the appeal.
Lichess is like going to a really good Ramen cart in Japan. The guy works 16 hours a day, procures the best ingredients, makes a nice product, shaves his head so hair can't get in your food and cries tears of joy if you say that you had a hard day, and his food gave you power.
Chess.com is for banter.
Lichess is for chess.
And Lichess does it for free .
In terms of chess.com being for banter, I couldn't agree more. I'm always getting requets to chat on chess.com whereas I believe I received a grand total of two messages in the couple of thousand games I played on lichess. One stated good game and the other said thanks for the game and hoped we would play again. Prior to tournaments there are many public posts wishing everyone GL and some good natured barbs between the regulars. Completely different environments on the two sites.
I heard that lichess has more things for free, so it is probably better. The prices here are over the roof.

$10 a month for Diamond. I give half that amount to Lichess just because nothing worthwhile is free.

I don't live in America, so it is a lot more expensive here.
Chess.com is Better but linchess is more free

They charge a higher rate for people from certain countries?

Wikipedia- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system
The Elo rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in zero-sum games such as chess. It is named after its creator Arpad Elo, a Hungarian-American physics professor.
The Elo system was invented as an improved chess-rating system over the previously used Harkness system,[1] but is also used as a rating system in association football, American football, baseball, basketball, pool, table tennis, various board games and esports, and most recently large language models.

Never knew till today Elo is used for other than chess.
