Roses are red, violets are blue, everyone is using IPv6, why aren't you? - Lemmy.World

Context: People have been asking for IPv6 Support on GitHub since years [https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/10539] (probably a decade by now) … and someone even got so annoyed that they decided to setup a dedicated website for checking this: https://isgithubipv6.live/ [https://isgithubipv6.live/]

The perpetual chicken egg problem of IPv6: many users don’t have IPv6 because it’s not worth it because everything is reachable via IPv4 anyways because IPv6 only service don’t make sense because they will only reach a subset of users because many users don’t have IPv6…

If IPv6 is done right you don’t even know you have it. If you use a cell phone or a home Internet, there is a high chance you are already using IPv6.

Sure, but my point is that if it is implemented right, you won’t even know you’re using IPv6 until you check network configuration.
