There's a single reason why lichess is incomparable and should be an example for literally everything in the world: collectivity.
"Lichess.org is a free, open-source chess server powered by volunteers and donations."
"Most “free” websites subsist by selling ads or selling user data. Others do it by putting all the good stuff behind paywalls. Lichess does none of these things and never will. With no investors demanding profits, lichess staff can focus on improving the site as their only goal."
Maybe those who prefer for-profit little guys are also happy with our for-profit federations?
I don't have money, I can't give those guys money for chess. And I will never support more elitism in chess.
Lichess is the website I can recommend to anyone.
