This is currently used by oftn-bot to report a failed ecma evaluation. It uploads it as an anonnymous Gist, and then reports a shortened Git.io url back to IRC.

For example:

(okay) undefined:1 ... https://git.io/vAxsO (expanded)

Maybe it's time to switch to Mozilla's public pastebin or require account credentials for gist.

I'd say requiring account credentials is fine; creating a new account is pretty easy.

Perhaps have a backup service that doesn't require auth, and use that if the config doesn't include a token. Gist seems to be well-liked, and I see few (but not zero) people using the mozilla paste site. I tried to paste some ES6 code into it, and it didn't like that. Also currently the gist code requires a site that supports markdown rendering, which the mozilla paste site doesn't seem to support.

The only thing I like about the mozilla paste site (aside from expiration, maybe) is that it's likely to continue existing for a long time, while some others have less of a backing.

Just putting this out there: another option is for the bot run an HTTP server, and display the pastes as basic html. No external service, but bad for other reasons. I think relying on an external service is best for now, at least in oftn-bot (I'm working on an IRC bot which will have a web interface).
