Fediverse seems like its stabilizing: https://fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=1000
(and these are the servers that allow the crawler from the observer, so its highly likely the numbers are much larger).
We are seeing:
- A small decrease in users on Lemmy: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- And a small increase on Piefed: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- Peertube is up in total users and stabilizing in active users: https://peertube.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
- Mastodon is all over the place: https://mastodon.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=365
Overall pretty good! Keeping the momentum going. Thanks everyone, whichever platform/instance you hail from!
The Fediverse is more stable than my country’s government
Finna guess right quick.
US?
Had to look at my keyboard to translate that.
While the letters are adjacent, I don’t think that was a typo. “Finna” is pretty common slang, just a variant of “gonna”
Oh. That’s a new one for me.
Short for fixing to, which now that I type it out, it makes less sense than finna
For further clarity, it’s a shortening of “fitting to” just like how “gonna” is a shortening of “going to.” As BremboTheFourth said, the two are synonymous.
While you’re on the right track, it’s fixing to, which to be honest doesn’t make any sense
Wiktionary suggests both “fixing to” and “fitting to” are used synonymously. Fwiw, in Tennessee, I only ever hear “fixing to”. As someone who learned English outside of the southern US, it makes little sense to me also. But what makes even less sense to me is people saying “trying to” to mean “want to”.
