Lag compensation is a joke and whoever is responsible for implementing it should be fired.

Gotta say; I completely agree.

Loads of fun playing a + increment game against a lagger.

Played a game the other day of antichess in 0+1.

After 20 moves due to their lag...they had 25 seconds.
Thats right. 2 more seconds than should even be possible (as the game starts at 3 seconds in 0+1 so 20 moves + 3 = 23..lel)

This should 100% absolutely be eliminated.
Lag compensation on lichess is the fairest policy I know. Or are we talking about the technical implementation?
The lag policy is explained here: lichess.org/lag
If the network lag varies greatly in size (or can be manipulated that way) it might cause problems but I haven't experienced that so far. Could you post your 25s game @DollaHollaAtcha ?
brain Lag is a joke and whoever has some should be banned from this site
The 25s game doesn't exist. There's a 0+2 with > 25s after 20 moves, but none in the past few (4) weeks with 0+1. Likely a mistake.

To that end, lag compensation isn't a joke. The real joke is not having a minimal time deduction for each move. But, of course, this is a "feature" (because it supports extremely fast time controls).

Oh, and, as for the subject of "whoever should be fired" -- Not likely. Thibault is BDFL of Lichess; good luck "firing" volunteers from their own project.
if you are not satisfied with lichess, then cancel your membership/subscription and....oh wait...
