Accelerate To The Singularity

Founded April 2013 · Public — anyone can post

Updated Sep 27

Luddites, Decels, & Anti-AIs aren't welcome! We're an AI-Positive, Techno-Accelerationist High-Fidelity Epistemic Enclave. We exclude anyone advocating to slow, stop, or reverse tech progress, AGI/ASI development, The Singularity, or humanity's growth. We're the unapologetically Pro-AI alternative to r/singularity, r/futurology, r/artificial & r/technology which are becoming filled with Luddites, Techno-Decelerationists, Techno-Reactionaries, & Anti-AIs.

Posting rules, in plain words

Self-promotion rules were not clear from the sidebar.

  • Luddites/Decels are banned: This Epistemic Community excludes anyone advocating for suppressing, slowing, stopping, or reversing AI, open-source AI, tech progress, or the Singularity. This includes Luddites, Tech- or AI-Decels, Tech- or AI-Doomers, Anti-AI, Anti-Humanity, and Depopulationists. Accelerating to The Singularity requires both Humanity & AI!
  • Posters of irrelevant or substantially similar content are banned: Users who post irrelevant or substantially similar content, or posts without context, are banned. Tech-Acc – technological accelerationism, the Singularity, advancements in technology, AI, or biotech – must be the primary topic of posts and must not be used to smuggle in irrelevant topics, or misleading claims. Bots must also abide by these rules.

Quoted from the community’s own published rules. Always re-read them before posting.

What a good comment looks like here

  • — Humorous and sarcastic remarks, often playing on anti-AI sentiments.
  • — Insightful explanations or clarifications of technical concepts.
  • — Directly addressing and refuting common anti-AI arguments.
  • — Personal anecdotes or experiences related to the topic.
  • — Concise, impactful statements that summarize a sentiment.

Read from r/accelerate’s published rules on Oct 7. Communities change their rules without notice and enforce requirements (karma, account age, flair) that may live in the sidebar or automod rather than here — the source page is the authority.

r/accelerate — frequently asked

How many members does r/accelerate have?

r/accelerate has 92,053 members as of our most recent crawl on Sep 27. Prowlo re-checks tracked communities on a rolling schedule, so this figure moves rather than sitting frozen at whatever it was when a scraper last ran.

Is r/accelerate growing?

Over the last ≈24 days r/accelerate changed by +19% — a gain of 15K members. We compare against the nearest snapshot we actually hold and state the real span rather than rounding it to a clean "30 days".

How active is r/accelerate?

We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/accelerate yet. Subscriber count alone is a poor guide to whether a community is active, so treat this one as unverified until the next sample lands.

When was r/accelerate created?

r/accelerate was founded in April 2013 and is a public — anyone can post community. Age matters: an older community with steady growth has survived Reddit's moderation churn; a young one with a spike may not.

Can I promote my product in r/accelerate?

None of r/accelerate's 2 published rules mentions promotion, advertising or spam. That is not permission: read the rules and the sidebar, contribute first, and mention your product only when it is the honest answer to someone's question.

How do I monitor r/accelerate for mentions?

Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/accelerate into your Dataset — every new post indexed and embedded, searchable semantically, queryable by your AI agent over MCP, and able to trigger keyword alerts in Slack. Prowlo is read-only; it never posts on your behalf.

Can my AI agent read r/accelerate's stats?

Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/accelerate's members, growth, promo tolerance and similar communities as typed JSON — free, no credits. Connect your agent to api.prowlo.com/mcp and it can vet the community and start watching it in the same conversation.
