6 Pastebins are used very often in IM, especially in chat rooms. You have a long log or command output which you need to send to someone over IM, and don't want to fill their message window with it. Put it on a pastebin site, and give them the URL instead, simple.

8 Not for everyone... no matter how hard you try, people will be unaware, or not care. They may also be too lazy to visit a pastebin. This is where mod_pastebin comes in!

12 When someone posts to a room a "large" (the actual limit is configurable) message, Prosody will intercept the message and convert it to a URL pointing to a built-in pastebin server. The URLs are randomly generated, so they can be considered for most purposes to be private, and cannot be discovered by people who are not in the room.

d88da0ded786 Clarify that mod_pastebin must be loaded especially for components

16 To set up mod_pastebin for MUC rooms it *must* be explicitly loaded, as in the example below - it won't work when loaded globally, as that will only load it onto normal virtual hosts.

24 Pastes will be available by default at `http://<your-prosody>:5280/pastebin/` by default. This can be changed with `pastebin_ports` (see below), or you can forward another external URL from your web server to Prosody, use `pastebin_url` to set that URL.
