Comment on Bonfire Social 1.0 is here, back the community‑funded roadmap

I don’t understand what exactly this is as it doesn’t go into great detail especially the whole “flavors” thing. There’s Ember, Social, Community, and Corporation so what’s the difference between each. in the documentation for installation it tells you to pick a flavor but again doesn’t describe what each “flavor” actually is.
So is this like meetup or some kind of neighborhood app/social group thing? I’d be willing to set up an instance on my server of it today but I don’t even know what this really is.
It looks like Social is the platform that released v1, and the other ones are still in various stages of development.

My understanding is that “Bonfire Social” is very similar to Mastodon, with their own way of implementing certain features, and the other features in their funding campaign are still in development
Reminds me of that old single-serving parody website Zombo.
“Welcome to Zombo!”
“The infinite is possible at Zombo-com!”
“Anything at all.”
“The only limit is yourself.”
zombo.com is still around

Bonfire itself is a framework that implemented ActivityPub, on it you can build applications that make use of it without developing from the ground up. Bonfire Social is a social network similar to Mastodon. Collaboration is is about project management etc and allows one to host their own, but integrate with others, e.g. to synchronize milestones via federation. What they have in common is that both build on Bonfire and as such use the same protocol for federation. But they’re tools for very different jobs.
