At first the only thing I saw driving it was an overhyped distrust for Facebook and an overestimated 'hands-on' group of super-users. But another context occurred to me recently, which is that institutions like churches could probably make great use of Diaspora. There you have the degree of trust necessary and an already proactive community - I can see them getting all hip and getting the youngsters to run a Diaspora server for the church. The key is marketing it to the right communities/institutions in my opinion.
