But there's still an argument against censorship, even given your starting point. They may at some point decide to ban content, and that may be a ban that you don't accept - that you think is wrong. If you're not going to like it when it's done to positions you agree with, then you have a reasonable basis for opposing it when it's done to positions that you disagree with.

You can disagree with a specific instance of moderation while defending someone's right to perform moderation in general. How is that different from disagreeing with a specific thing someone said, but defending their right to say it?

Sure, that's not an unreasonable position to take. But I also don't think it's unreasonable for someone to object to some instances of censorship and not others. It's certainly not fallacious to take such a position.
