Tldr: “Ye” is pronounced identically to “the”. The “th” sound used to have its own letter that somehow got to be written “y” until everyone decided that was quite silly.
eeeehhhh this depends on context, in “Ye olde taverne” it’s definitely meant to be Þ, but in “beware ye who tread here” i’m pretty sure it’s a completely separate word basically meaning “those of you”
We’re not talking about Ye the “nigger heil hitler” Ye who likes fish dicks, are we?
No. The community is called “Ye Power Tripping Bastards.” Ye is a middle/modern English equivalent to You.
I did not know that, but also just heard Kanye’s new hitler song half an hour before making that post. So I was freshly scarred.
Worth noting that the y in “ye” is not actually a y: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_articles#Ye_form
