Thank you Lichess for making this a free site and all the good features that they don't have for free. Thank you Thibault.
@Nh3_Wins Give us a like in televistar.com/communities/lichess/
They liked it so much they closed their account!
@Doofenshmirtz Well I Have to say televistar.com/communities/lichess/ has half the likes of televistar.com/communities/chesscom/
I do believe this site is better though!

No, chess.com is better for a few reasons.
Corresponence are not second-class at chess.com. They have rankings, and they have tournaments (site-driven) and even community-driven tournaments. Not only that, they caters to lower-rated players.
Lichess claims the reason for corresponence to not be ranked is that Lichess cannot detect cheating. This is pure bullshit. They are just lazy and not patient. I'm serious about that statement.
The matchmaking on Lichess is not good. I cannot choose, like I do on chess.com, "everyone below my rating AND my rating +25". This is impossible on Lichess. On Lichess, there is something called rating floor. Lichess DECIDES how bad a person can be in chess. If there is a rating floor, is there a rating ceiling? No? really...

And, of course, screw Swiss to hell: github.com/ornicar/lila/issues/4028
And while we're at it, screw Round Robin too. Too slow, too boring, "not popular". Devs will make all kinds of excuses.

They recently reduced the lowest supported rating here to 600 so it's not fair to say you're totally uncatered for. You get to shout your entitled potty mouth off too, so there's no need to leave and play exclusively at the clearly superior chess.com unless you really want to.
@Alnius @Doofenshmirtz well even though lichess.org has half the likes at televistar.com/communities/lichess/ lichess is getting there by the day and lichess has more videos etc. Even the invitational community of televistar for lichess is very active. televistar.com/communities/chesscom/ As a matter of fact even in two three days since I created the community it receioved already more than 460 likes. I can say that in next year or so lichess should surpass chess.com as the most used chess server.
Dude, nobody cares about televistar so there's probably no need to mention Lichess's "likes" there. If people don't like Lichess for whatever ill-informed reasons I strongly suggest they stop going on about it here, where nobody gives a shit, and play at chess.com or whatever. I guess if those people keep themselves busy on televistar instead of here then that's also a good thing.
#5 #6 I agree with some of your statements and leave you to guess which ones.
