I'm sorry if this question has already been asked, but I'm just wondering, what your opinions are about lichess and chess.com? Lichess is a nonprofit and open-source and seems more ethical to me, but chess.com has more features. I've been using chess.com for years, but thinking of switching over to lichess or some other application.

I love lichess. Itโ€™s a brilliant platform and easily the most ethical online chess platform alternative out there.

That said, Iโ€™m really not a big fan of Danny Rensch, so I kind of see chess.com as the evil option.

In what sense is chess.com unethical? Genuine question.
