A link or phrase posted when a post or comment contains words written * between asterisks * to denote performing an action. Often benign * tips hat * these can also become somewhat creepy[1]. Sometimes known on the interwebs as “Asteracting” or "Bounding Asterisks”[2]. Using asterisks this way on Reddit actually *changes the text to italic* unless further markdown is used. r/creepyasterisks.
