If you can't find them, don't hesitate to create them! Might be challenging to find users and get them up and running, but you gotta start somewhere, and you sound like the kind of person who is up for the task.
The decentralized nature means you will never truly be banned from everywhere unless your behaviour is universally considered unacceptable, in which case good riddance
There are fewer of us, so some people care about keeping individual users around. I've still received bans from communities for reasons I find questionable, but that's in the nature of having people manage communities themselves.
Then again, people seem to be looking for alternatives to big tech lately. There's probably interested people out there, but it might be more efficient to recruit outside of Lemmy.
I don't know what a ship is and after checking out a community I still don't understand, but I hope they are successful whatever it is they are doing. :)
Where I live I can pick up amazing stuff for free from recycling stations all over the city. Incredible old items keep popping up there more or less every day as people get rid of their old solid wood furniture in order to replace it with something more fashionable from IKEA.

There's war in Europe. Climate change is fucking up the world faster than we can respond, and America is burning to the ground physically and metaphorically as we speak.
Short answer is no. But I figured maybe a more detailed answer could be nice as well.
They are gradually implementing ActivityPub integration, which would make them a part of the Fediverse. At least that's what they claim to be doing. I'll believe it when they're done.
They are implementing it in several steps. Be aware that this is subject to change - it could be that it has changed already since last time I got up to date, but as nobody seems to have provided a better answer yet, here we go:
For a while, Threads users outside of Europe can enable ActivityPub from their profile page. If they do so, it'll be possible to follow them from the Fediverse. In Europe this feature is missing, because Zuckerburg is bitter he cannot spy on us as much as he would like to.
Threads users can see comments and likes from the Fediverse, though it's kept separate from comments made in Threads. So far they cannot respond back to users on the Fediverse, so they cannot participate in the discussion, only see the comments.
Threads users can follow Fediverse profiles, but not in a particularly meaningful way. It seems they can enable notifications for new posts from users on the fediverse, but the content is not integrated in their Threads stream. They also cannot search for users: They can only interact with Fediverse users that they find somewhere on Threads. So if you follow someone on Threads they can follow you back; if you comment on a Threads post and people like what you're saying, they can follow you from your profile and follow you from there. However, they cannot look up Fediverse users who have not communicated with Threads in any way.
The Fediblock thingy makes the Fediverse a bit smaller seen from Threads. Not really a big deal for them, but if you're on an instance that blocks Threads you obviously won't have much success communicating with them.
So Threads has a long way to go, but a lot of the technology seems to be in place. They receive comments and content from the Fediverse to Threads, and they shoot content from Threads out into the Fediverse. It's just that they are keeping everything in separate channels over at threads, and they do not yet allow for federation of comments in Threads to allow for back and forth discussions.
Part of a political system is that it changes, but the House of Lords for example has roots back to the 11th century. Sure, things change through the centuries, but it's wrong to say they are not the same. The US has gained states and amended the constitution as well.
England is England. They have laws going back until before any of that. There's continuity all the way. Joining a union does not mean your country stops existing.
France invented constitutionalism and you were the first to adapt it after them. That's important political history, but don't overestimate yourselves.
England has been the same kingdom since the early 10th century.
The capitalists are in charge, but they are also utterly fucked.
The last thing you want to do with a spartacus-type enemy is to make them a martyr. They already fucked up by parading him around with those guards while he looks like the second coming of Christ. Nailing him to the cross is not going to solve any of their problems.
Related to this, but also not really, is how I feel as a right handed person playing guitar.
I mean, sure, the right hand is doing some picking, but the left hand is up there doing all the clever stuff and the right hand has no idea how it manages to do any of it.

Welcome aboard!
