Elo difference Chess.com and Lichess

My peak lichess rating is 2047 and my peak chess.com rating is 1888. So the difference of elo is less than 200. Heres my chess.com account: Chess_SquidxXx64. I have played 40 games on chess.com account. Current elo of lichess is 1962 and current chess.com elo is 1726. I believe my chess.com elo will increase cause I played too little amoumt of games. I conclude with information that I have difference between these websites is roughly 200. A forum post 3 years ago also concluded that the difference was about 200 but that was during inflation.
But the point is to find the difference between these websites. Some websites say the difference is 400 elo and some say 600 elo. GothamChess also said the difference is 600 during Guess The Elo Lichess.

Oh, he said he was kidding. He said the real difference is around 300 points. From personal experience, it's around 250 (my peaks are 2000 rapid on lichess and 1750 on chess.com as of now).
The Elo difference between Lichess and chess.com is undefined, because neither site uses Elo.

Elo is commonly (and mistakenly) used to refer to rating, but since everyone does it, there's no point being nitpicky about it. Cheers!

@FreedBeast219, Elo is a type of a rating system... Elo is NOT RATING.. FIDE uses a rating system which I dont remember, Lichess uses Glicko-2, and chess.com uses a different one.. So, your ratings WILL be different.
Okay I understand Elo is not RATING. But I wanted to gather what others think. Like I think its about 200 and @Dragon_Emperor_9774 thinks it is 250. You all chill its just trying to know the difference and not absolute answer. So share your thinking and not correct me every sentence.
My highest Bullet-rating is 2600+ on chesscom, and 2567 on lichess, so chesscom's rating is at least inflated by 30 points.

No it's inflated by around 250 points because my chess.com high is 2412 and Lichess what I currently have (2151).
