Not my ex 
Tiny app 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)
It used to have:
- A simple GUI (version 0.1.1), but dropped support to focus on CLI — there are other great GUI out there by now
Getting started

Install
$ pip install not-my-ex
Usage
CLI
$ not-my-ex post "Magic, madness, heaven, sin" --images /tmp/1989.gif
You can skip the post text; in that case, it will open $EDITOR so you can write your post.
You can skip --images or pass multiple images (e.g. --images taylor.jpg --images swift.gif).
Check --help for more details on commands and subcommand.
API
from asyncio import gather
from httpx import AsyncClient
from not_my_ex.auth import EnvAuth
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():
auth = EnvAuth()
media_tasks = tuple(
Media.from_img(path, alt, auth.image_size_limit)
for path, alt in (("taylor.jpg", "Taylor"), ("swift.jpg", "Swift"))
)
media = await gather(*media_tasks)
post = Post("Magic, madness, heaven, sin", auth.limit, media, "en")
async with AsyncClient() as http:
post_tasks = tuple(cls(http).post(post) for cls in (Bluesky, Mastodon))
await gather(*post_tasks)
In Post, limit, media and lang are optional. In Media, both alt and image_size_limit are optional.
The usage of auth.limit and auth.image_size_limit makes sure the limits are set according to the authenticated clients.
