- 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.
