RFC: Zen of PySlackers

[iMerica]

Lets use this RFC to draft some general principles that we can rely upon when making decisions in our Slack group. In the spirit of the Zen of Python, I propose that we keep them general instead of rigid.

I agree that we should write somewhere the various escalation and consequences. What @DeannaWagner propose seems to be a very good starting point 👍 .

I am still proposing "channeling" divisive content into their own channel (or a catch-all #controversive).

I imagine people in this community not only come to talk about "topic X", but also come to the community to "talk about topic X, with pythondevs".

I propose to mention in the ToS that we do not encourage divisive content.

When someone does bring up topics such as politics, refer them to the channel for this topic. That itself makes it so that other people won't be exposed more than necessary to these topics.

No one will be lost (or feel hurt), and this should be the same if not less amount of moderation as strongly enforcing not discussing certain topics.
