I found a small and tightknit survival server that started a fresh vanilla season about three weeks ago. They want more people to join and hang out and build near spawn or far away since there is lots of space.
It runs on 1.21.11 and the server is hosted in Germany. The world border is 20k by 20k and sleep is set to 20 percent so nights do not drag on.
They use Proximity Voicechat and they said Dynmap is coming soon. There is a shopping district built above an open ancient city at spawn. The End outer islands get reset sometimes and enderman griefing is turned off.

Origin SMP is a survival multiplayer server with a new season and a world that feels like it is always moving. It runs on version 1.21 and it works for Java and Bedrock so more players can jump in.
The big thing here is the Tier system for PvP. If you win fights you gain Tiers and if you die you lose Tiers so every fight feels risky. It is also story driven so alliances and betrayals actually matter and people build the lore as they play.
It has proximity voice chat so you can talk to players nearby while you trade argue team up or backstab. There are no land claims so the world is shaped by trust politics and strategy.
The map is a finite 2500 by 2500 world so you run into people a lot. The rules are semi anarchy so chaos is allowed but random griefing with no story purpose can get rolled back to protect long term SMP plans.
