It's extremely light to run, and very easy to install and upgrade. I ran one for just myself without open registrations. The only con is that the community (self-hostable) version doesn't allow js due to "safety reasons" so in order to have something like comments for your blog you have to either perform several janky CSS hacks or adjust the source code yourself. The only reason I chose wf was because of federation, but I eventually switched to standard WordPress with the federation plugin and now have comments and whatever else I want.

I did register writefreely.world planning to host that one day, but I need some more selfhosting nerds to help out running all these instances :-) The foundation is now already running a few dozen Fedi instances :-D
