I get all that I was there for that. But then lost interest. Wondered what happened after that.

Are people still holiding? There was talk that the government was going to allow people to settle their shorts for low prices or something. I guess people that made money was because of the bubble nature and memes of the whole thing, rather than any shorting factors.

But more importantly how does shorting hurt reddit?

There are still some who are diamond handing, unclear how many. There's a subreddit called gme_meltdown you can check out if you want a rundown on what's happening.
