Changes and culture shock

I must admit, I'm experiencing some degree of culture shock in easing myself back into otherkin/therianthropy "community" spaces. The landscape has changed, and I am unsure if it's changed for the better, to be honest. In addition, in (re)joining certain social media groups and having to explain and justify my claims to people who were in kindergarten back when I was first deep in research and self discovery is...something, that's for sure.

Constellations, packs, prides, oh my

greetings, havent posted in a bit due to things happening in everyday life; i come back to ask, what does a pack, a pride, a constellation or other have to be for you? who do you consider part of the group, is it strictly family-based, strictly alter/nonhuman, does it have to be a certain amount of folks, does everyone need to be the same 'type or clade, what do you do together (if anything), does everyone know eachother, etc etc. if you dont have a pack or are more on the solitary side, would you enjoy being in one anyway?

Personally, my constellation as of now consists of my mate and my biological little brother, all alterhuman and with 'types unrelated to mine. i would consider some irl/online human friends part of it as well, but in a more distant way if that makes sense. they may not be part of the core constellation but they are welcome anytime to join us for things. 

Ex friend

I'm so annoyed with my ex-friend rn. I blocked him and chose to stop talking to him. He knows I don't want talk to him and yet he finds a way to text me anyways. Today, he used his trans bf to talk to me. This frustrated me bc my bf knows I don't want to talk to this ex-friend. He even called my bf by his dead name. How should I handle this? This is the second time he used someone else to talk to me.
