You can remove people from replies. Click on the usernames in the 'Replying to @personA and @personB' and it'll open a list of people you're replying to, each with a checkbox that can be used to remove them.
Dot replies haven't been necessary since Twitter added the ability to retweet yourself. You respond to someone as usual and then retweet it, so all of your follower's will see it, even if they aren't following the person you responded to.
It can definitely be a bit confusing for old users (and the UX for the first one isn't the greatest), but nothing's been removed, it's just been changed.
- panic 10y agoWhether or not you think they're still necessary, dot replies are a different thing than retweets. The ability to reply while at the same time making that reply visible to your followers has been removed.
