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

Name	Description	Example	Default value
`NOT_MY_EX_BSKY_AGENT`	Bluesky instance	`"https://bsky.social"`	`"https://bsky.social"`
`NOT_MY_EX_BSKY_EMAIL`	Email used in Bluesky	`"cuducos@mailinator.com"`	`None`
`NOT_MY_EX_BSKY_PASSWORD`	Password used in Bluesky	As created in App Passwords.	`None`

Not setting NOT_MY_EX_BSKY_EMAIL or NOT_MY_EX_BSKY_PASSWORD disables Bluesky reposting.

To repost in Mastodon

`NOT_MY_EX_MASTODON_TOKEN`	Mastodon access token	Go to your Settings, Development and then create an app to get the access token. Select the `write:statuses` and `write:media` scopes.	`None`

Not setting NOT_MY_EX_MASTODON_TOKEN disables Mastodon reposting.

Install

Usage

API

from asyncio import gather

from httpx import AsyncClient

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


async def main():
    media_tasks = tuple(
        Media.from_img(path, alt=alt)
        for path, alt in (("taylor.jpg", "Taylor"), ("swift.jpg", "Swift"))
    )
    media = await gather(*media_tasks)

    post = Post(text="Magic, madness, heaven, sin ", media=media, lang="en")
    async with AsyncClient() as http:
        post_tasks = tuple(cls(http).post(post) for cls in (Bluesky, Mastodon))
        await gather(*post_tasks)

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