What do you think is a good lichess rating?

I would say the definition of the categories gives us a clue.
Expert is better than good, average is worse than good.
So according to the class system, good is between 1600 and 2000. I'm slightly better than 1800 so I like this.

On the other hand...good equals a level of competence, so maybe you're good when you don't hang pieces anymore. I hang pieces a lot so.....

Did you know....I thought 1800 was expert and 2000 was master. Not sure where I got that from, but I've thought it since high school.

It was only when I reached 1800 and absolutely sucked a game or 2 that I decided to look it up. But in the meantime, I told my wife and a couple friends that I was rated expert. Sigh.
I would say that 1800+ is good, but of course it depends on what variant. In bullet, i'd say 1700+ is good, 1900+ is decent and 2050+ is expert.

In blitz, 1750+ is good, 1850+ is decent, and 2000+ is expert.

In rapid, 1700+ is good, 1800+ is decent, and 1950+ is expert.

In classical, I have no experience...xD

Btw, I know i am going to get a lot of critisisms about this so at least dont be too brutal. Thx
