Ratings: lichess 2100 = chess.com 1800 ?

I have 2 friends who are rated 1800 on chess.com but nearly 2100 on lichess (talking of bullet ratings - blitz ratings on chess.com are higher).

Seems that lichess ratings are much higher then chess.com ratings, aren't they..

Backed is this assumption also by the percentile score: if you are rated 1800 on chess.com, your chess.com percentile score is around 97,5 % (what means that you are better then 97,5 % of the players on chess.com) while even a rating of 2100 on lichess scores only 96 % (so you are with 300 points higher only better then 96 % of the players on lichess)
I was testing chess websites for a few weeks, after over a decade off chess, when the desire to play suddenly came back...
My experience on chess.com was VERY negative. Many cheaters, rank/rating manipulators. So I would assume your chess.com rating would be lower, because you end up playing against so many manipulators & chess engine users.
(Even here though, I play 99,999% casual, to make sure and avoid them)
chess.com is ROTTEN. Lichess is SO much better. It's amazingly good actually... Love everything about it so far...
Here you begin with 1500 points while in chess.com you start with 1200, so is logical that all ratings here are around 300 points higher than chess.com
chess.com ratings esp. around 2k are absolutely irrelevant. Since majority of the players around 2000 using engine. I know it myself it was stated by one of few fair staff members and most importanty was analiticaly discovered by 2200 fide player.

Even most of the staff artifficialy increase their ratings there by tricks or maybe even straight out cheating
@Fairplayer1

"Most staff" and "majority of players" implies greater than 50%. This is just more of the same hysteria, unfounded assumptions, total speculation by a disgruntled member. Your answer to every post just furthers these unsubstantiated claims. What is the purpose of shouting "Most members are cheating?" It serves no good purpose.
No one is going to argue that cheating doesn't exist. It is by far more prevalent at CC, but >50% is just ranting. It is your stock response to every question. Frankly, zip it.

Heard of spell check?
Dont care about chess.com. the only good thing is its domain name. Site is run by liers. Even if they give you obvious cheat you cannot abort game.

2 days back I reported another obvious cheater at lichess. Strangely He isnt flagged. Maybe lichess is starting to give up flagging since flow of new cheaters account is too massive. Accounts reputation is becoming major factor when choosing who to play.
I canceled classical game with him then checked him. He was so obvious not even trying to hide his engine.
anybody - not suffering from asberger, paranoia... - for a statement?
by the way: as said, I was talking of bullet games and bullet ratings.

I have no doubt that in classical or even blitz controls there occurs not so little cheating on chess.com. But in bullet? Never! You had to run an automatic answering software to cheat in bullet on chess.com and believe me: 99,99 % of people dont even know how to get and run this software.

So at least concerning bullet, this paranoia is simply a laugh and completely ridiculous.
Bullet ranks are irrelevant too. Its basicaly who has better connection competition. It s easy to cheat manually at 2+1. Noobs who dont know how to play choose bullet.
