Tomodachi94Fandom is sunsetting the Wiki Representative program[^1], laying off 21 [^2] employees

For those who missed it, here's a summary of the Fandom roundtable on the 15th: https://fandom-stars.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Jpearson/Forking_Activity,_Current_Policies,_and_Ad_Strategy_Roundtable_Recap
The purpose of the roundtable was to "explore[...] current policy, ad strategy, communication, and forking."

Here's a screenshot leaked by a friend of the wiki community, a Fandom Star. Some of this seems concerning.
These questions are the questions that will be asked at the Fandom Stars-exclusive roundtable in a few days.
(Please don't disclose the identity of the leaker for their safety. There is currently an internal witch-hunt at Fandom.)
