The article doesn't say anyone is shorting Dogecoin — just that the people buying/encouraging are referencing the GameStop short squeeze.

As far as I can tell, it's just people trying to flex their muscles and see if they can do the same thing with Dogecoin (both for the lulz and to make some money in the process).

The lack of a 150% short interest on Dogecoin limits the extent to which it can go like the other one.
