HH Admin Copypasta

The HH Admin Copypasta is a lesser-known copypasta originating in Cirque du Twerque in December 2015.

Context

In December 2015, the actions of a certain HH admin angered many people in the HH community, including many members of HHCdT. On December 13, 2015, said HH admin released the following statement:

For the past year and a half, I've had the opportunity to build this community with incredible people. They taught me so much.

When we built that team, I hoped that rule by committee of equals would be the most effective way to build the community. I was wrong.

The community suffered due to inaction. Marginalized people left the group en masse, many of the most active members left for the subgroups, and the team was ineffective at changing that.

My failure to communicate effectively with the team and the community itself caused this. I apologize for letting the community get to this point.

These changes should have happened long ago and they should have been communicated with the admin team. The fact that I felt the need to remove another admin unilaterally to make this change was my own fault. I made a mistake.

My intention isn't to take over as eternal dictator of HH. Nor is it to turn this into a business. I didn't do this for power or money. I did this because I thought it was best for the community. There was definitely a better way.

Moving forward, we’ll be transitioning power to the subgroup leaders and the community itself. You can read more about the plan here: https://medium.com/hackathon-hackers/giving-hackathon-hackers-back-to-the-community-c77cebda92e6#.mslxrqiv8

Community members can nominate moderators. Subgroup leaders will elect both the moderation team and the admin who will lead HH.

I won't be running in the election at the start of the New Year. My sole role will be to ensure that elections are fair, that the transition of power is smooth, and that no one is ever able to do what I did again.

This apology was not taken well by the HHCdT community, and as a result, this became a copypasta.

Variations

So far, this is the only known variation:

For the past year and a half, I've had the opportunity to shitpost with incredible people. They helped me procrastinate doing homework so much.

When we modified images of my face, I hoped that sheer autocracy would be the most effective way to build the community. I was right. It was awesome

The community suffered due to Bush being responsible for 9/11. People who prefer margarine to butter left the group en masse, many of the most active members left for EEQ and PHP, and the team was ineffective at changing that.

My failure to communicate effectively with the illuminati and the lizard people itself caused this. I apologize for letting the community get to this point.

These changes should have happened long ago and they should have been communicated with the entire cast of "Friends". The fact that I felt the need to remove another admin UNILATERALLY to make this change was my own fault. I made a whoopsie.

My intention is to take over as eternal dicktater of CdT, and monetize for power and money. I did this because I thought it was best for the lulz. There was no a better way.

Moving forward, we’ll be transitioning power to the former HH admins. You can read more about the plan here: <not gonna bother parodying a whole medium post sorry>

Dismembers can nominate people to meme. Subgroup leaders will erect both a pyramid in my honor and a pyramid in my dishonor.

I won't be running because frankly I don't like exercise. My sole role will be to ensure that elections are fair, that our shitposts are smooth, with libertad y justicia para todos.
