I’m not against the Web just because of commercialism. The world before JavaScript was just fine, and if someone comes up with a great way to completely split “Web classic” off from the modern mess that might be interesting.
Can more or less do this by just using Lynx or w3m, but the problem is half the links won’t work because everything demands JavaScript to work. Ajax everywhere destroyed the idea of a JavaScript-free Web.
Maybe just go to html delivered over something than http: a forked Web.

@istvan i mean, the Gemini protocol kinda serves as a "web fork", though that of course is disregarding the extra visual flair you can get with HTML+CSS.
and also... uh... my website is literally built on JavaScript and yet it requires no client-side Javascript to work. it's utter bullshit i know, but if a website literally made out of JS doesn't require client-side JS... maybe making more websites without client-side JS aren't off the table yet
If you want to write in Node.js, whatever. My issue is with anything that modifies or monitors a loaded document. I’d complain about ActiveX the same way if it still existed.

Writing a blog post (on the web, sadly) about Geminispace. Are there any other cool sites on here that showcase what the Gemini protocol can do?
