Gopher. That was content focused and so inflexible that it was hard to be a dick with it.

The original WWW was too. (It didn't have cookies, for instance, so there was no way to track a user from one page to another.)
When it got popular, smart people started bending it to make being a dick possible, which is how we got the Web of today. I don't doubt the same would have happened to Gopher, if it had been the one to get popular.
