That seems absolutely right to me and very much worth exploring. I think Mols Sauter has done some of the best work on DDoS and ethics in “The Coming Swarm” and I highly recommend reading it. What you’re proposing technically sounds a lot like Third Voice, a browser plugin from 1999 – there’s rich thinking around whether someone has the right to annotate your website, to react to it, and to be copresent in the space you’ve created. I am excited to see where you go with this, but would urge you to be sure you engage not just with the morality of DDoS, but with questions like artist’s rights – does anyone have the right to speak alongside or over your speech?
