Pastebin.Mozilla.org

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.

A list of alternatives in bug 1480438 including:

Public-facing, authentication required:

Public-facing, unauthenticated:

Public-facing, unauthenticated, unsupported:

Authenticated Mozillians can choose:

gdocs/gdrive
the Mana collaborative editor (coming soon)

Other, less practical suggestions have included:

Postcards
Bathroom walls
Various proposals involving the phrase "beware of the leopard"
