r/collapse is a subreddit with 502.8K members. Its distinguishing qualities are that the community is size-huge.
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.
