Context:

People have been asking for IPv6 Support on GitHub since years (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/

What the fuck are you talking about? My ISP supports IPv6 just fine, but following my VPN's advice I disable it (on certain devices at least) for privacy concerns. And it makes exactly zero difference in functionality.

OK, not your ISP, but your VPN is shit.

It's Proton VPN. Lack of IPv6 support is a downer but I wouldn't call them shit.

Edit: maybe elaborate why you deem IPv6 so crucial? As I said: everything works just fine without.
