It means something like rational or good from the point of view of the person saying "based". Or like "based in reality".
Person 1: "My partner broke up with me and I am sad about it but the relationship wasn't going anywhere and I think it is better that way. I should work on myself before I can be with someone"
Person2: "that is incredibly based. "
That's not what based means here. "Admirable; praiseworthy, especially if the thing that is considered "praiseworthy" is unpopular or controversial."
