If you're on a computer and using Mastodon through a web browser, you can do this ultra-quickly by just pressing backspace before you write the reply. By default the addresses of people other than the original poster are highlighted, so pressing backspace removes them.

Though I understand why it does this - I absolutely hate it. I almost never want to reply to every person mentioned. -

Though I understand why it does this - I absolutely hate it. I almost never want to reply to every person mentioned.It perhaps greatly depends on the context? Sometimes a thread is a conversation between several people so replying to several makes sense, but sometimes you just want to reply to the OP.
