Create social media guidelines

[InessaPawson]

The NumPy team uses social media, mainly Twitter, to communicate with the broader user base.
The social media guidelines should outline how to behave on social media in a way that is positive for the project's maintainers, contributors, and user community. Think of them as a manual for social media best practices.

Should we move this issue, and the one other issue on this repo, to the numpy.org repo? No one is looking at this issue tracker, and the topics overlap quite a bit with the design and content ones on numpy.org

@rgommers Works for me.

Joining from PyData Global and parsing issues that might still need some work.

Where would guidelines be kept? Does this still need help?

[InessaPawson]

Thank you for considering contributing to NumPy, @lgfunderburk! Yes, we still need help with this issue.

Where would guidelines be kept?

I don’t think we made a decision on it yet. @rgommers Have you given a thought to this?

[lfunderburk]

Awesome. Let me know where to jot down ideas. Can also spin up a google doc if you prefer

[InessaPawson]

Collaborating on this in a Google Doc works for us.

[rgommers]

Agreed, working in a Google Doc for now sounds great. This is actually an interesting/important topic. Some research on how other communities/projects do this would be super helpful.

See the Scientific Python social media guidelines for possible inspiration.

It would also help to have an explicit 'Dealing with harassment' section. That section could include what would be considered harassment, how to make a public response (such as as how to respond or not block users or not private message). It could also include private team response (such as reporting to the team or switching who is managing the account for a while).

Similar to how a Code of Conduct details not just inappropriate behavior but follow-up plan of action.
