| '''Use cases:'''
| | paste.mozilla.org/pastebin.mozilla.org was a publicly available pasting service used as a collaboration tool for sharing snippets of text or code. |
| | All links and data would expire after a maximum of 3 weeks. |
|
| |
|
| * It is useful when you are working with a contributor on Matrix and there is a need to send each other commands, logs, or program output.
| | This service was retired in March 2025. There are several alternatives that can be found online, with varying features and degrees of support. |
| * It is really useful for sharing code where you may need to collaborate with others, but do not want to share the code permanently - for example when troubleshooting in IRC/Matrix, knowing that you can share things that can be deleted in Nth period of time.
| |
| * Running our own instance in Mozilla gives us moderation tools that we don't generally get with free offerings elsewhere.
| |
| * Add-on reviewers use Mozilla's Pastebin to share console logs with developers on their code builds.
| |
| * It is built into the build system (mach pastebin) so it is super easy for devs to reach for.
