USENET rises again?
It's not really like usenet, if only because of the character limits. This really changes the nature of the discussion.
Yes, having images available within mastodon is nice - that was always clunky with usenet.

I’m on infosec.exchange, our limit is 11000 chars. That’s more than enough.

My understanding is that "typical" Mastodon/ActivityPub instances limit you to on the order of 500. Certainly true for Fosstodon.

I never used the Fediverse, but is all/most trying to be a Twitter clone?

Mastodon is like that. Then you have Kbin and Lemmy which are more Reddit-like, and Pixelfed which is supposedly similar to Instagram.
