Nope. I'm curious about the clearinghouses (DTCC). Robinhood explains the general process in a post from 4 days ago [1].

It would be great to see more details for the DTCC's increase in the amount of required collateral. I tried Googling for some info but didn't find much (probably haven't tried hard enough yet) ex [2].

Naively, what we saw was a failure of the financial system to support trades. It may not be Robinhood, but it may not necessarily be T+2 either.

Is there a website I can use to query the current deposit requirements for GME? Is it public info? Are there details provided for factors affecting that amount that can be compared across different stocks?

I'm a total noob please forgive my noob curiosities :)
