I see no reason for that number of tags to break a Forem, based on my understanding of how they work
@ellativity
Correct! We've done a lot of work to keep tags from bogging it down. For the most part, it'll just be the user's own feed that gets slower if (and only if) they subscribe to a huge number of tags and those tags collectively contain a huge number of posts. And even then, it's still pretty quick due to things we've done to play on the strengths of the database.
@andyw
If your Forem instance is ever prohibitively slow at any scale, pleeeeeasefile a bug and tag @forem/sre (or request us to be tagged — I can't remember if someone outside the org can tag a team) on it. We try to keep it fast both for large communities like DEV and for average-sized ones, as well.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
