I am in control of the backup of my data.
I don’t have to worry about an instance going off, or a radical change of policy.
I can choose whatever pseudonym I want.
I participate in the decentralization of the network, which feels good after the fiasco of monolithic Reddit.
(Edit) I am also in charge of its content and its user base.

This made me curious - does your own instance also have a copy of anything you post in communities hosted on other instances?
I would assume so as it makes sense technically, but you ought to double check
