There are hundreds of open source projects that implement a social network.

So does that mean I can be the next Facebook with one click of a deploy button ?

Facebook wasn't the first social network. Not even close. Facebook succeeded because it did very similar things to the prior ones, but a little bit better than them in just the right ways. That is the essence of a fork.
