I found a way to remove friends quicker (for those who need to remove them as raid hosters like me)

Here's the video

The idea is to keep scrolling and holding your finger on the screen till the pokeball loading animation is finished so that you don't have to start back from the bottom and scroll back to remove friends

Found this out by accident because hoped something like this may help keep me at the same part of my friends list once I delete someone and it actually worked!

Edit: technically the title is a little misleading, not just for raid hosters, in fact just players, especially ones who don't go through their friends often and have a lot of afk people in their friend list they want to get rid of quicker by not having to scroll
