What's the fundamental difference between Fediverse/ActivityPub/Lemmy and the Usenet? - eviltoast

After reading a bit about Usenet, it seems to me as if the whole Fediverse seems to be just a reinvention of Usenet.

What’s the big difference?

    Thanks, at least one who got what I was on aboutˆˆ

    Ok, so we got a push vs pull model and a bit more differentiation in the protocol. So there is at least some improvement on the concept. When reading about it, it felt like yet another reinvention, but looks like there is at least some improvement on the idea. Thanks for the summary!
