Any good alternatives to GitHub Gist?

Looking for a replacement for GitHub Gist. Only limitation is I would rather it not be self-hosted, but feel free to provide those if you really enjoy what you are using.

Edited to include an additional requirement
I also like that I can log in and get a list of my items. I don't keeping up with a site, or single link, but don't want to have to keep up with hundreds of links. I don't necessarily care about privacy in this instance. I mostly use it to keep one-liner commands.

Maybe I would be better moving to a note taking app.

That's not ideal.

Gists have a very useful tooling that you can define file extensions and then the parser shows code highlighting automatically based on the file extension.

There's nothing even close to that here

Markdown often supports code blocks with the language specified, let's see what happens here:

use strict;

Could use some better formatting, but that's as easy as a library integration for a lot of hosts, I would bet.

Iirc I saw formatting for code blocks in the kbin commit history, so we'll likely get something once they finalize a new release and update kbin.social.
