I reached around 1300 on chess.com before I started boycotting the site for being Zionist. I have since used lichess and barely can hover around 1000. It's very relative and depends where you play. I had a real life tournament Rating of 1200 when I played as a kid. Just have fun, ratings are Just to keep your games evenly matched.

I should also boycott chess.com now that you told me, even tho I already thought about how weird it was for them to mask Russian players and not israeli ones, but I never really concluded in doing so, thanks
