Not a bad option, but what are the potential advantages over using the Pages feature of Misskey forks, or simply Wordpress?

One advantage over wordpress is that it avoids bringing its parent company, Automatic, into the Fediverse.

From Wikipedia:

In February 2024, Automattic announced that it would begin selling user data from Tumblr and WordPress to Midjourney and OpenAI.
