    Random ideas off the top of my head, but I’m sure there are more:

    • they believe in the platform and know they have the skills to help it grow
    • they’re tech enthusiasts and it’s basically hobby time
    • general curiosity about how it all works from the admin side, some people love to learn new stuff
    • spotted a gap in the market for an instance around a particular theme
    • they want a solo / friends and family only instance to avoid defederation issues and generally curate the feed
    • they want control over their own data and experience
    • they happen to own the most perfect domain name and just need something to do with it
