Is it wrong, to defederate with an instance because it can't be accessed over IPv4? Almost certainly it is. Am I tempted to do this to just. stop. those. failures? wellllll

@ashfurrow Have you tested if your instance really can be accessed over IPv6 for real? Some fetches in Mastodon make a round-trip -- the resource you fetch in turn fetches something from you to verify who you are -- this is where IPv6 connectivity could play a role. If you aren't serving anything from your IPv6 address, you may be able to solve the problem by just disabling your IPv6 address.
