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

What's the big difference?

Here’s an analogy from a non technical person.
Fediverse is the universe.
The protocol is the laws of nature by which the universe functions.
Lemmy is a galaxy or cluster of galaxies in the universe.
