Any particular reason why lichess rating is sooomuch higher/differnt from FIDE??

As far as I'm concerned, I've tried to stop comparing myself to a possible FIDE rating. I believe I could achieve somewhere between 1500 to 1600 but meh, what's the point? I know my rating on this site and to be faire I don't really care about FIDE's rating which is old and doesn't reflect with enough accuracy the progression and level of players (i'm gonna get looooots of hatred from otb players). I'm more of an internet player than a OTB player and everyone is different. It doesn't matter if you're 2500 bullet on this site; it doesn't mean you'll be 2200/2300 in OTB. You may very well be 2600 FIDE or 1600 FIDE.
