This is a directory of websites that primarily stick with simple, marked up, hyperlinked text.
There is a movement, sometimes called "small web" for simpler web sites. This includes alternative protocols such as Gopher and Gemini.
I need to come up with a suitable tag, since I have bookmarked a number of such sites. See also "tilde" for a related wish for simplicity. I will use indieweb for now.

The Mare Tranquillitatis People's Circumlunar Zaibatsu is an ideologically decriminalized world offering text-based asylum to those fleeing the commercialisation, bloat and surveillance of the wider net. The Zaibatsu offers 200MB of free gopherspace hosting to anyone who wants it for any non-commercial purpose. Gopherspace is managed via sftp. For further details, including instructions on how to request asylum, please visit circumlunar.space on port 70.

      In addition to functioning as a free gopher hosting provider, the
      Zaibatsu is also a small public access unix system.  A defining
      characteristic of this system is that much of the software used by the
      members for social interaction and other purposes is developed by the
      members themselves, collaboratively and openly, on the system itself.
      While only senior members can install software system-wide, *any* user
      with shell access can clone the git repo for some tool on the system,
      fix bugs or add features, and request their code be pulled into the
      system-wide repo.
