repliers

Those who respond

Repliers are people who reply—those who respond to messages, posts, comments, or questions.

The term appears most often in online contexts: The original poster thanked the repliers for their helpful advice.

Someone who replies once is technically a replier, but the plural suggests an ongoing role or a group responding to the same thing.
