r/collapse
Discussion regarding the potential collapse of global civilization, defined as a significant decrease in human population and/or political/economic/social complexity over a considerable area, for an extended time. We seek to deepen our understanding of collapse while providing mutual support, not to document every detail of our demise.

Communities that discuss what r/collapse discusses.
A subreddit devoted to the field of Future(s) Studies and evidence-based speculation about the development of humanity, technology, and civilization. -------- You can also find us in the fediverse at - https://futurology.today
Here we speculate on the future impact of today's nascent technologies on humanity, the state, and the environment, from an anarcho-capitalist, Agorist, or Libertarian perspective. All free thinkers are welcome.
Everything pertaining to the technological singularity and related topics, e.g. AI, human enhancement, etc.
r/DarkFuturology focuses on the theater, and what's behind the brick wall. There will be one day in particular, when an all-time global record of extraction of the important natural resources will be followed by gradual decline. Naturally, this was foreseen by important people decades ago. The obvious question would have been: How can the inevitable decline be managed in our interests?

r/collapse — frequently asked
How many members does r/collapse have?
r/collapse has 562,199 members as of our most recent crawl on Aug 4. 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/collapse growing?
We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/collapse yet, so we're not going to invent a growth number. We've been tracking it since Aug 4; the chart fills in as history accumulates.
How active is r/collapse?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/collapse 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.
Can I promote my product in r/collapse?
We don't have a promo-tolerance read for r/collapse yet. Default to the safe approach: read the sidebar rules, contribute in threads where you gain nothing, and mention your product only when it is the honest answer to someone's question.
How do I monitor r/collapse for mentions?
Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/collapse 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/collapse's stats?
Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/collapse'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.
