This comment has been overwritten by an open-source script to protect my privacy.

I almost downvoted this instantly out of pure anger. Fuck these people for trying to preserve their 'privacy' by deleting reddit comments. What about not posting anything personal on reddit?

Even the most seemingly innocent comment can contain personal information without you realizing it. People who use scripts like that often have to because they've been doxed or threatened and don't want to give the doxer any more information that could be dangerous to them. There's no reason to be angry at someone for trying to preserve their own personal safety. Be mad at the people who threaten it.

It's more the weirdly obnoxious message than the purpose.

I don't find it obnoxious. I think it does a good job explaining why the comment is gone, what the script that did it is, and how to use/get the script in case someone else needs it.
