> e.g. If the OP is asking "I ghosted my friend in AA who insulted me during a relapse", Reddit would say NTA in a heartbeat, while the real world would tell OP to be more forgiving.

That’s a nuanced discussion. It depends on what you value most, not what “real world” tells you. Most of the time Reddit would be right, because you need to prioritize yourself instead of continuing toxic relationships.

1) Reddit is horrible at nuance, almost non existent in some subs.

2) The toxicity is being defined by reddit to give the advice which is mostly wrong as outlined above.

If OPs had a understanding of what they valued and what is toxic, they probably wouldn't need a advice from biased readers [biased in the sense that they're on that sub].

That’s true, but they still might be right for wrong reasons.
