You’re right, my email was confusing.

Facebook’s ranking (first column) is not by IPv6 adoption but by 
traffic volume. So while Kenya, for instance, would be ranked #51 on 
IPv6 adoption rate (10.69%), it only ranks #67 because of its traffic 
volume.

At PCH, we maintain an IXP Directory that publishes statistics of v6 
traffic exchanged at IXPs as a way to encourage adoption. Only a handful 
of exchanges are providing disaggregated v6 stats though, so the list is 
rather small.

https://www.pch.net/ixp/dir (then sort by IPv6 column)
