my hopes would be that the proof of human uniqueness (via World ID), combined with moderation, would be enough to combat this problem.

current social media platforms can't cope with it, because the user supply is infinite, as only an email is required to create an account

You're being very naive. That's a classic "simple solution of a hard problem" coming from somebody with tech background.

Today people are not ashamed of posting horrible things under their real name! Let that sink in.

    yes, people post bad content all the time; however I'm not against that kind of content.

    I have problems with:

      - bot posts
  - ... which influence some real users
  - ... which then, combined with more bot posts, influence the rest of users

    solving the problem of "free speech" on the internet obviously won't be done by implementing a proof of human uniqueness; I believe it's a problem, that will always remain to a certain degree. however, I believe that we can reduce the size of the problem from where its at now, to a significantly smaller size (e.g. 2000s era)
