Difference between SSO and social sign on

What's the difference between SSO and social sign on? Why do I need to register the SSO oidc provider in the database when I can configure social sign on through code? What is it doing when I call the register with the user account, is it somehow saying that user owns the oidc provider?

SSO stands for single sign on, and it's different to social sign on. SSO lets you use one login for many apps, but needs to be set up first. Social sign-on uses your social media accounts to log in.
