So, right at the beginning of this thread, you meant ‘direct’. And you never corrected this misunderstanding, even after I repeatedly talked about indirect realism in my replies?
No when I said indirect I meant that as well. My problem is that they both use “reality” to reference a theoretical construct that arguably none of us have ever experienced.
They do.
What else would we use the word ‘reality’ to mean? I’m not seeing any alternative here (infinite recursion on the concept of ‘reality’ doesn’t count as a solution.)

Just what one experiences, with the external world that we agree upon going by consensus reality. Is that what you were asking.
