i have removed comments that were celebrating the death of hamas and hezbollah leaders so i do commit to being fair in my removals

“calls for violence in any form against any living creature” are a violation of lemmy.world terms of service. Comments calling for or celebrating violence will be removed, and may result in additional moderation actions

i removed it because it was reported as misinformation

Hi there, we talked on discord but thought I’d make a comment here too.

Not from Asia/Aus region but due to my timezone and work I am available in the peak activity time for those regions.

I think that I would be a good fit for the team as I have had months of experience working with the c/world and c/politics team. I like to encourage discussion on these very important topics by following the community rules and acting on reports made by users promptly and with my own bias acknowledged. I choose not to comment much in the discussion as I feel that a moderators’ presence should be seen through the discussion not heard in the discussion itself.

I don’t think I would change anything as the community here is already fantastic and I just want to help out the existing team!

Thank you for your efforts to make lemmy.world the best

Rule 1

The previous had a post title that did not match the article title

We currently do not allow duplicate posts from the same source and do not allow news older than 14 days. We have removed posts that have violated those rules so I am confused by your feedback.

Good idea, thanks

The other source has different quotations and telesur articles may have poor sourcing however this one has direct quotes from Pope Franci’s speech.

"There is no agreement among scholars regarding the origin of the ethnonym Sinti (also called Sinte). A popular etymology among the Sinti is that their self-appellation is based on the Pakistani province of ‘Sindh’.

Such explanation indicate that the Sinti were already before the migration to Europe distinct from the Roma, a fact which supports the Sinti in underlining their separate iden- tity. Nevertheless, there is no doubt about that the ethnonym Sinti cannot be of Indic origin, since the word ‘Sinti’ is inflected as Eu- ropean loanwords (see the below table).

It however remains unclear from which contact language was the word Sinti borrowed and what was its original meaning. Based on historical sources, Matras (1999) assumes that the ethnonym Sinti turned up at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries and was used as a name of a particular Romani group among the German Roma.

The original endonym of the group was Kale, a Romani group name which is widespread also in other Western and Norther European coun- tries. The new group name Sinti seems to completely replace the older name Kale in the beginning of the 20th century."

I think that they are different based on their history:

"“Roma” (or Sinto, Manouche, Kalo, Romanichal) and “Gypsy” (or nomad, Gitano, Bohemien, Sarrasin, Heiden etc.) are not the same thing and they are not synonyms. These terms refer to the same people but viewed and designated differently.

“Roma” is the word (ethnonym) that the Roma use to describe themselves: it is the term for the members of that specific people and it is Romani for “man”. “Gypsy” is a derogatory, disparaging term – for many an insult — used by the majority population to define the Roma people."

Sinti are a subgroup of Romani mostly in Germany and Central Europe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinti

"The Sinti migrated to Germany in the early 15th century … [in]1899, the police kept a central register on Sinti, Roma, and Yenish peoples
