Hi,
I've read about OStatus and status.net, but I have one question: imagine I install a node, and invite my friends there. So we now have a good status.net community. But at some point I decide to shut it down because I can't pay for hosting anymore. What happens to the profiles of the users - are they deleted? Or can they switch automatically to another installation, like identi.ca and continue as if my installation wasn't shut down.

There's a script to move users between instances, but IIRC even @Evan said it's not been tested thorougly: https://gitorious.org/statusnet/mainline/blobs/master/scripts/moveuser.php
