That kinda lends credence to the notion that the post really was just libel. If it was true and more than just a one sentence diatribe then the plaintiff wouldn't have needed to bring Meta into this suit. I don't really see what they would possibly get out of this unless they really had no idea who this was that posted about them.

How would they sue person X for libel if they couldn't prove that the libelous post was created by person X?

Same way you sue anyone. Sue them if you have a reasonable basis for your claims and subpoena the defendant directly instead of trying to approach this like suing a John Doe. If they try to delete it this is no different than any other civil suit, go after the spoliation of evidence.
