What does (((((this)))) mean?

[Calavera]

I see on the internet a lot, someone trying to be supportive of someone else by typing their name like ((((((this)))). What is this supposed to men?

[Shodan]

(((Hugs))).

Only if it’s written {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}.

@D18

Only if it’s written {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}.

That’s just two arms on each side.

Yes. Someone’s name has to go in the center.

It means that the message is ((((in stereo)))).

@D18

Still wrong. Should be {{hugs}, {{hugs}}, {{hugs}, {{hugs}}, {{hugs}, {{hugs}}, {{hugs}, {{hugs}}}, …}. You’ve got the Zermelo Hug Construction.

@Yllaria

Yes. Someone’s name has to go in the center.

((((Calavera))))

Whoosh.
