For a little historical context:

  • IPv6 became a draft standard in 1998, and did not officially lose the "draft" status until 2017.
  • Hurricane Electric launched their well-known IPv6 tunnel service in 2001.
  • Google has published IPv6 adoption stats since 2008. These stats consistently show a greater fraction of users are on IPv6 on the weekend, because it's more common on mobile and home networks than office networks.

Unfortunately some ISPs are total garbage and don't support IPv6 in 2023. Eg. https://lemmy.world/comment/269250
