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?

Not super educated on the subject but I’m pretty sure Usenet was just one platform/standard whereas the fediverse is a bunch of interoperable standards. That’s a pretty huge leap I functionality
The Usenet is a very old and federated system. Same as the Fediverse, the Usenet is based around a single protocol (NNTP vs ActivityPub which Fediverse uses). Same as on the Fediverse, there are lots of different applications for it, that represent data in a different way.
