Bring back Ngonnso

"A 2023 research article estimates that 40,000 objects from Cameroon are in German museums, a far cry from the roughly 6,000 pieces in the state collections in Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon.

Hi @tchambers the account I created on 12/23/2024 [ @blogamf@indieweb.social ] was suspended tonight. After exchanging, it appears @webhat reported it as spamming.
It's an unfortunate misunderstanding, but OK.
As explained, this new account is managed by a human, to share African musics. It's not a bot, not automated. It was just trying to be polite by DMing a few previous followers, explaining it had moved. That's all.

Alt Text: What to Write

https://www.nngroup.com/articles/write-alt-text/

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period?

"End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text."
