Usage notes
Typically, lowercase "" is used for the diluted sense of the word (to indicate light-heartedness), while uppercase "LOL" is used more literally. Sentence case Lol is sometimes seen on social media platforms which automatically capitalize the first word of any sentence, but is otherwise uncommon.

Especially the lowercase lol is sometimes reduplicated, in such a manner as "lololol", "lolololol", and so on (typically ending with an l) for further emphasis on the laughter.

Yet, as with other expressions of emotion, the intensified forms can also be used to express insincere or exaggerated laughter:
