  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: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_articles

      Tldr: “Ye” is pronounced identically to “the”. The “th” sound used to have its own letter.

        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”
