I posted a short video of my piano practice. Most comments were kind, but one comment said, "You should quit."
My first idea was to answer, "You don't know anything." But my teacher once said, "You do not have to fight every rude comment."
So I did three things. I took a screenshot, reported the comment, and blocked the account. Then I practiced the same part again, slowly.
The comment was loud for one minute. The music stayed with me longer.

Chinese translation
我发布了一段自己练钢琴的短视频。大多数留言都很友善，只有一条写着：‘你还是别弹了。’
我第一个念头是回他：‘你懂什么！’但老师曾说过：‘不是每一条无礼的评论，你都得跟人争。’
于是我做了三件事：截图、举报那条评论，然后屏蔽那个账号。接着我又慢慢练起同一段曲子。
那条评论只喧闹了一分钟，而音乐陪着我的时间更长。
