Strange to see reddit and stackoverflow not supporting IPv6.

  AWS doesn't support IPv6 natively. I believe this explains a bunch of the items on that list (though not SO, I think they're on Azure?)

    SO hosts on their own infrastructure, and I believe use Akamai for CDN. https://nickcraver.com/blog/2016/02/17/stack-overflow-the-architecture-2016-edition/ https://nickcraver.com/blog/2016/02/17/stack-overflow-the-ar...

    And as Microsoft, Bing and MSN don't support IPv6, you can assume that Azure does not as well. And it does not, despite the BS story about their leading role: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/faq/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/faq/

      Microsoft.com does support IPv6 (Bing and MSN do not). Also apple.com does support IPv6.

        It appears apple.com and microsoft.com are failing this for the same reason; apple.com does not have an AAAA record. www.apple.com does. If you visit apple.com over ipv4 or dualstack, apple.com will answer and redirect you to www.apple.com, which is dual-stacked. But if you visit using only ipv6, apple.com is not found, so you're never redirected to the capable www.apple.com. (ditto s/apple/microsoft/ - I just picked the example quickest to type)
