I found a Minecraft server that is donation supported and it is trying to stay online with help from players.
The owner asks people to donate to keep the server up. That is basically what it is about.

I found a brand new Java SMP running on Minecraft 1.21.11. It is meant to be small and friendly so people can just play and hang out.
It already has EssentialsX and GriefPrevention set up. That means you can get some helpful commands and also protect your stuff from griefing.
