I think I understand where you made the mistake, it’s not red dit, I think it’s supposed to be re ddit. It’s where they “did it” again (or “re did it”) but like All those other early 2000’s sites they just dropped a vowel so it’s just re ddit.

    Ah, a common mistake to make. It's not 're-ddit,' Im pretty sure it comes from 'reddi-t' as in "Ready Tea" but like many early 2000s websites they tried to make it sound more approachable, so it's just 'reddi-t' as your cup of tea will be cool enough to drink by the time it's transmitted all your data.
