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!

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".
