It's cute how China UnionPay's website explicitly calls out that the website supports IPv6 right up next to their logo.

Discovering that supporting IPv6 is a point of pride for chinese companies as part of the “China Next Generation Internet” project, which became official government policy in 2021 with a plan to eventually phase out IPv4 by around 2030.
Meanwhile in AWS…

@scarlet@chaos.social meanwhile, it seems like most of the western world does not treat IPv6 with nearly the same importance as IPv4, because, well, IPv4 still works fine for most usecases.
Be it ISPs, companies and orgs or even tech-savvy friends. -

Be it ISPs, companies and orgs or even tech-savvy friends.@evilemily Works great until people try to play games and encounter CGNAT.
But yes, there is also a contributing take here about how most of the western world has become landlords over IPv4 addresses. Thankfully mobile networks are largely pushing the IPv6 adoption from my observations because it makes technologies like voice over LTE/5G way easier to deal with than deploying TURN/STUN servers.

@scarlet@chaos.social as I said, most

Ironically, most of my non-tech-savvy friends just get IPv6 out of their ISP box or a Fritz!Box if that's familiar to you.
The tech-savvy ones in my circle tend to have issues here, with more advanced setups
And yes, STUN and TURN are crap. My small Jitsi Meet instance runs so much more reliable on IPv6-only.
Fun Fact: my mobile service provider defaults to NAT64
So yeah, they are thankfully pushing this a lot! -
