Discord flags lack of IPv6 as "intended"

I’ve been doing IPv4 networking for decades, and recently decided to take plunge and update all my gear and systems to IPv6.

So far, it’s a train wreck.

20 years in, and none of the major platforms support IPv6 in a consistent way (DHCP6 vs. SLAAC, anyone?), there is little to no analytical or diagnostic tooling, no (working) walkthroughs of equivalencies to standard IPv4 practices, little security clarity, …

This IPv6 debacle is a self-own of major proportions.

Note Google shows 0% of people using 6to4/teredo. That fits my experience that 6to4/teredo didn't work when I tried it.

My ISP is struggling to replace copper with fiber. That's something that makes a difference in my life. IPv6 doesn't make a difference. If anything it's a submarine network that could hide security problems.
