To me, direct link means a link that will send me directly to the posts on their instance (i.e. a direct link to the Star Trek website will be https://startrek.website, not https://myinstance/c/startrek@startrek.website).
Unless I'm somehow misunderstanding what direct link means here, which I might be? It seems more intuitive to me that the bang syntax would keep you inside your instance, not leave it.
And yeah, using ! is known as bang when used in this sort of context!
Oh right you were just disagreeing about terminology lol, fair enough. I just figured writing "direct link to where you can actually subscribe to avoid you having to do the whole copy paste palaver" was a bit of a mouthful ๐
