 i started playing chess with chess.com, then i discovered lichess and thought: wow, this looks good, it's almost better and it's open source! so i kept using it. 
 Why is it better/different? Why should I care if it’s open source if it’s just chess… 
 idk man, just feelings. what can be improved on lichess is that you can't do multiple pre-moves. in chess.com you can. On mobile lichess feels lighter and faster, more responsive. 
 Just downloaded it and playing around. Gotta get used to the different look and feel of the chess board and pieces. I didn’t even know you can do pre-moves on chess.com 
 also on chess.com you have a daily limit for game-analysis. on lichess you have unlimited analysis using stockfish i think 
 I pay a yearly subscription for unlimited analysis. Investing in myself 💪 
 It's open source so we can add lightning address/nostr account, and zap to winner when the game end.  
 That’s cool! Is it integrated yet? 
 Ready soon  
 How is this different or better than chess.com? 
 Dare you to play @Puzzito  👀 
 I play the puzzles on there daily

 O Lichess é superior ao Chess.coм por ser .org ao invés de .com, é open source e gratuito, gosto bastante, quem quiser jogar comigo algumas partidas basta me enviar link e solicitação

 Requires Google Play Services - have to pass (sorry). 
 No need there is a web app 
 Perhaps, but I really can't in good conscience support any company that is promoting data collection and the associated privacy implications (especially for a game).

There is zero reason to divulge *ANY* personal data to game developers--they are simply selling your data.

Unless people are willing to take a stand and say "no, privacy is important" and not support those developers / companies, then the situation will not change.
