1) Sure 2) This seems like a huge task that would take hours but I can put some initial thoughts. Things I like about the platforms is the data gathering, which enables searches, network detections and other such useful information. Some problems with the platforms: Censorship, like reddit popular, their moderators, their admins. Anything that allows leftists to centralize deplatforming is a big negative. Good thing about reddit is that it takes 0 seconds to create a user.
Power is a bad thing because power corrupts, so leave all power to the users

3) I wouldn't be willing to collaborate with leftist communities. I don't believe that they deserve a voice or to exist in any civilized country. For me personally, it is about survival and it is just not something I am willing to compromise on, because I see them as active genociders. I would tolerate them on the platform but I wouldn't actively collaborate with them.

4) Sure

5) How would you attract normies? And how would you avoid bots/shills/spam?

moderators

Moderators almost always suck. I don't think we should have any.

Moderators suck on reddit because the site got so large that moderators who were modding as a part time hobby got tapped by corporate reddit to help spread the political messages of reddit. Moderators that didn't buy in were forced out and many new fake bought and paid for mods were put in charge of large influential communities. This wouldn't have been a problem if people could make competing communities but many of those communities were kicked off of reddit. In general though a community essentially gets the mods it deserves. Good faith mods do a lot of good things. They keep off trolls. The can quickly identify people breaking rules. They can identify people shilling products or ideas that don't fit the spirit of the sub.

I've been called a troll plenty of times, a shill just yesterday. Not that there really aren't trolls and shills, but it's often used to justify silencing points of views the moderator doesn't agree with or to quash any threats to their power.

A good mod is invaluable, unfortunately they're rare.
