Allows you to choose who to trust your data with by choosing between multiple "public" servers.
Often allows for third party clients which can provide a more native, customized, or accessible experience.
Generally a less juicy target for governments wanting backdoor access to everything as the trust is decentralized. The server may be hosted independently from the organization developing the software.
- Server software can be verified that it matches public source code, assuming you have access to the server or you trust the person who does (eg family member)

Third-party developers can contribute code and add new features, instead of waiting for a private development team to do so.
Disadvantages
- Adding new features is more complex, because these features need to be standardized and tested to ensure they work with all servers on the network.
