Me downvoting the meme because of rare PugJesus historical inaccuracy:
Comment on Fuck. I need a crash-course in indigenous East Coast languages

That’s entirely the wrong guy. It was the Cheyenne, out west, who wore feathers like that. Also, Tisquantum (aka Squanto), who lived where the Pilgrims landed, did speak English.

My screenshot doesn’t prove I downvoted before your comment, but I did. (lemvotes.org should’ve been able to prove it by including the timestamp of the action, but gives a 404 error when I put the link for the post in.)
I think your instance isn’t showing all the votes: either it hides downvotes, or they aren’t federating, or something like that. As I type this, this post as viewed from https://lemmy.zip/post/66851596 shows 93 upvotes and 0 downvotes, while my view from https://lemmy.world/post/48676854 shows 102 upvotes and 1 downvote.
Edit: Now that I think about it, both the 404 on lemvotes.org and the vote discrepancies might also have to do with the fact that the home instance of this post is Piefed, not Lemmy.

My ass, which can’t navigate by stars, getting lost in a time before roads, signs, and paper maps:

Maps you bring with you from the present should still be pretty useful, as long as they’re topographical maps as opposed to road maps. And as long as you’re not going deep into geologic time, of course.

“Siri, why am I not getting a GPS signal in this time?”
I just share it as one of those astonishing facts. Tisquantum’s story is fascinating, and sad. He was abducted into slavery by a ship captain, taken to Spain, then his freedom bought by some Franciscan friars, who educated him. He was able to make his way back home, only to find that his entire tribe had been wiped out by disease. That’s how he was able to greet the Pilgrims in English.
