Not my ex

Tiny CLI to post simultaneously to Mastodon and Bluesky.

Obviously, based on cuducos/from-my-ex.

It supports:

• Post status updates to both networks with a simple CLI command
• Posting with images
• Including alt text for images
• Setting post language

It does not support:

• Tagging other users (they would have different IDs and servers in each platform)

Getting started

Requirements

• Python 3.9 or newer
• Poetry

Environment variables

To repost in Bluesky

Not setting NOT_MY_EX_BSKY_EMAIL or NOT_MY_EX_BSKY_PASSWORD disables Bluesky reposting.

To repost in Mastodon

Not setting NOT_MY_EX_MASTODON_TOKEN disables Mastodon reposting.

Install

$ pip install not-my-ex

Usage

CLI

$ not-my-ex "Magic, madness, heaven, sin " --images /tmp/1989.gif

You can skip --images or pass multiple images (e.g. --images taylor.jpg --images swift.gif).

API

from not_my_ex.bluesky import Bluesky
from not_my_ex.mastodon import Mastodon
from not_my_ex.media import Media
from not_my_ex.post import Post

from httpx import AsyncClient


async def publish(adapter, http, post):
    client = await adapter.authenticated(http)
    await client.post(post)


async def main():
    post = Post(
        text="Magic, madness, heaven, sin ",
        media=(
            Media.from_img("taylor.jpg", alt="Taylor"),
            Media.from_img("swift.jpg", alt="Swift"),
        ),
        lang="en",
    )

    async with AsyncClient() as http:
        tasks = tuple(publish(cls, http, post) for cls in (Bluesky, Mastodon))
        await gather(*tasks)

In Post, both media and lang are optional. In Media, alt is optional.
