chess.com are stronger

whenever i play on chess.com i get beaten by extremely low opponents rated 1100 but on here i can beat 1800s sometimes .
they just don't seem to make any mistakes.maybe its because i am playing classical games.But i thought chess players made big blunders up until they reach 2000 level
I don't see a lot of difference. My ratings are similar. It does seem however easier to outplay players on Lichess.
In the end it's all the same to me. I'll blunder my queen or so at some point for sure.
I totally prefer the Lichess servers though. Way less lag.
Right, i think Lichess ratings are 300 points higher than chess.com ratings. I think Lichess should review how to assign points, very far from reality (Chess.com is not perfect, of course, but better about ELO)
chess.com is full of low rated cheaters, they dont have that Kind of automatically anti cheat detection like lichess. So much more Players get used to Play with assistance
Chess.com has more cheaters. Also that site is all about money, so if you spend it you are also less likely to get banned if you cheat.
ya, chess. com site is all about money . lichess is better than chess. com
#5 is correct. Chess.com is filled with sandbagging computer assisted players. And even if you're not playing a cheater directly, you're playing someone who has lost to those cheaters and has an overly deflated rating.

I reported an obvious cheat at Chess.com with irrefutable evidence and they never did anything about it. Every single cheater I've reported here at lichess.org has been tagged.
It's not that easy to catch a cheater if he cheats in a smart way. :( That's why I like the option of playing only with friends - people who u played before and u know they dont cheat, cos they make common human mistakes.
