So how can they call it "censorship resistant" if you can just ban users and delete their content?

The platform is censorship resistant. Individual instances are not. If you upload something to a specific instance, you are at the mercy of the instance owner. But you can upload to other more "open-minded" instances or host your own.

Moderation is necessary, otherwise you'll attract "undesirables" that will most likely scare away regular users.

Banning and choosing not to point at something are two different things.
