Will it ever be possible for kbin to federate with PeerTube? (kbin.social)

I know this is a silly question, especially as I'm currently focused on local-only feeds, but there's just one part of the Fediverse I wish would get more love: PeerTube. While there aren't a lot of people actively looking for alternative video hosts outside the big guys (Twitch, YouTube, Dailymotion, etc.), it would be nice to see wider adoption of PeerTube. I think better integration with other softwares would be helpful in that regard, if for no other reason than just that it brings attention to the services available.

What will you do when people start mirroring content from Youtube to kbin? Youtube will enforce the new politics of blocking the adblockers, so there will be an incentive for the viewers to host those videos here. What will Ernest do when the lawyers of big labels start suing kbin?

Who is mirroring? If it is the video authors that is good that they mirror to peertube. If it is someone else that gets into copyright law and needs to be squashed (unless permission is obtained)

It will be someone else. Like someone who wants to host his favorite playlist somewhere else than youtube where the ablockblockers are coming.

It will be more than a full time job to delete the copyrighted content. Specially when you know that youtube and the creators will have a business reason to do so. If you are too slow, boom, if you miss a video, boom.Video content is dangerous to host.

See it or fold, like anybody else.
