Parler has serious issues and the main problem is that it is dominated by white far right conservatives.
Here's a subreddit that does a decent job of documenting every terrible thing posted on that site, including but not limited to anti-semitism ,islamophobia ,transphobia and other forms of racism etc.

By being on the site, someone is giving an endorsement to its users and indirectly to the riots that occurred on Jan 6 in the Capitol as well as the unfounded allegations of election fraud.
And from what I have read about Fediverse, it had amassed a million users, but for the investment it will require someone to post regularly there for relatively limited exposure, governments and companies may not find it to be worth it. It is (a sort) of a chicken and egg problem.
As much as I hate social media, and the fact that I am not a white man is why I will break your heart with this awful truth.
Alt-left is just as bad as alt-right, but I'd rather sit in a room with a racist and talk it out rather than a leftist. At least the racist will generally make sense and can be reasoned with even if you hate them with a passion.
My socialist neighbor wants to have come colored people as his pet project, but seems to be quite the racist when it comes to us doing better than him.
The capital riots were nothing more than some degenerates tricked into putting the final nail in the Trump admin.
Of course, I am full believer in the horse shoe theory.

If you genuinely believe all alt righters (ie those who believe in the supremacy of their race to others) can be convinced with some dialogue,the issue would have been solved long ago. It isn't that easy.
You are however, judging the left from the lenses of dumb college students who do dumb shit and anarchists who use protests to do evil things.
Sure, there are. But Twitter is actively trying to work against it, and so far, in my personal experience I have not seen Hitler apologists on the site.
Sure, there are full fledged genocide deniers ( I have personally read tweets on Holodomor and Srebrenica denials), plus supporters of fascist regimes like in DPRK and Syria. Then there is the stuff like the BJP IT Cell tweeting their absolute worst.
There are Hitler apologists on twitter too. Along with pedos and groomers, racists and misogynists, among others. No, twitter doesn't remove them all either.
I personally haven't seen these as I keep my feed limited to tech news and memes but what you can do is click on "report"* And Twitter may take action. I have had bad experience myself with the reporting mechanism as it does not take action always on reported tweets. That I blame on the Twitter execs who do not have moderators who are properly aware of the region of the world they have to moderate. But broken as it is, it still works.
Parler has a report button from what I have heard but it is only for show. And from the former CEO Matze's own words, they allow all constitutionally allowed speech which unfortunately opens the doors for actual Nazis to flood the site with their hatred.
I think you're living in a bit of a bubble here. Your 'evidence' is a bunch of cherry picking that's hosted on reddit, a left-wing website. You could easily make the same case for twitter, with the caveats that 1) reddit probably wouldn't let you do it 2) you'd dislike the people twitter targets so it'd be less morally objectionable.
You can find plenty of criticism of the the Twitter left. Hell they do it to themselves, especially with incessant purity tests. Jimmy Dore comes comes to mind as well as how he turned on Cenk Uygur and the whole so called "Force the Vote" Fiasco as well as the "Bloody Monday" conspiracy.
r/enough_sanders_spam documents some of their dumb takes but that sub devolves more into bashing anyone to the left of Joe Biden.
As for my personal views,they don't really matter but I try and find hypocrisy in the "eat the rich" crowd as well as the hard right wingers.
Also one other thing that matter is that what the public perceives Parler as. I believe it has been forever associated with the Jan 6 riots and voter fraud allegations, so whether it was instrumental to these things or not does not necessarily matter but the public's perception of them does.
Think Ronald Reagan for example, modern people have a lot of to object about his presidency and many did then as well, but he enjoyed strong approval ratings throughout his presidency. During his reelection campaign, he had many issues while speaking like stuttering etc. but during his second debate with Walter Mondale, he was able to dispel all fears about his age and capabilities almost instantaneously.
