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:

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

Could also be The Netherlands, where an already fallen government managed to fall again. (meaning that 2 of the 4 leading parties have so far stepped out of the coalition)

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"

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah finna boutta

I was honestly so confused before I saw your reply to theirs, I live in the south so that's just common lingo here

I get my American slang through Hollywood and Internet, so the curriculum may not be entirely comprehensive at times.

Short for fixing to, which now that I type it out, it makes less sense than finna

[–] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

You nailed it. Short moment in time that anyone would agree though.

[–] aMockTie@piefed.world 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

While you're on the right track, it's fixing to, which to be honest doesn't make any sense

[–] Hazor@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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".

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

Huh, I've never heard anyone say fitting to.

Trying to make more sense to me, because you haven't done what you're attempting, but you are attempting

If only we could move as easily as we can switch servers.
