'''Use cases:'''

* 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.
* 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.
