I found a vanilla Minecraft server that is basically a come hang out kind of place.
The main rule they say is do not hack so it sounds like they want fair play.
It feels like a small invite vibe like hey twin come play Minecraft together.

Join Rai Nations Session Adventures
casual time commitmentCredit currency systemCustom economy shopEnchant buying systemplayer-run nations
Rai Nations is a session based nations server where people show up for scheduled play times and build up their own nation. It usually hits 20 plus players at peak and there is still room to claim space and start something new.
The sessions run in EST on Wednesday 6 to 8 PM Friday 6 to 9 PM Saturday 1:30 to 4:30 PM and Sunday 1:30 to 5:30 PM. It feels made for players who want a geopolitics style nation server but do not want to grind all week just to keep up.
There is a merchants village where you buy and sell items instead of doing villager trading. The economy uses Credits for most stuff like materials and enchants and a rarer currency called Rai Kurrency that you can find daily in chests. Rai Kurrency is used for heavier buys like Netherite enchants.
The server also has ongoing lore with the Unknown and the Unknown Fragments. Five beings split off and they can cause weird events and shenanigans. Staff are described as friendly and ready to help and the server runs plot points and events through the season.

Foggy Willows is a survival server for people who want real vanilla and nothing extra. It runs on the normal minecraft server jar with no plugins and no datapacks.
The spawn is simple so you can get playing fast. The server is hard mode and there is no tp and no sethome. You travel the real way and deal with the game as it is.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCorey Games Six Modes One Hub

I found a Minecraft server called Corey Games that has been worked on by the owner for about a year and they are finally putting it out there for more players.
It is a multi mode server with six different modes to jump into. When you are not in the modes there are also a bunch of hub activities and minigames to mess around with.
It feels like the kind of server that is trying new things so if you want something different you can join and give it a shot.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNostalgiaCraft Vanilla SMP No Resets

NostalgiaCraft is a vanilla style SMP that keeps things simple. It feels like playing Minecraft with friends with no extra bloat.
Griefing is not allowed and there is a protected spawn with active staff. The world has been running since 2020 and it does not reset so your builds can stick around.
The map is huge with a 300k by 300k border and the server aims for 20 TPS on dedicated hardware. The economy stays pure vanilla with player shops and trading and no made up currency.
You get a few vanilla plus quality of life commands like sethome and spawn and togglephantoms. It supports both Java and Bedrock and it was updated to 1.21.11.
It also uses a graylist system so you can join fast without an application. Spawn is protected for trusted members and outside is survival but griefing is still against the rules.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Anarchy Vanilla Survival No Resets

I found Anarchy Network and it is a semi anarchy survival server that tries to feel like real Vanilla Minecraft. It started on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City.
It stays online all the time and you can join on Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. They recommend 1.21.10 so you do not run into issues.
The world is massive with a 2 million block border and there are no map resets. There is no teleporting and no pay to win. PvP and griefing are allowed so you should expect chaos.
The only non vanilla command is spawn so players far away can get back to civilization. Nether roof access is allowed. Phantoms are removed and only half the players are needed to skip the night.
They still have some limits like no exploits no lag machines no duping no spamming and no harassment or racial slurs in chat.
