Weakly downvoted this because
(From hereon, I’ll use ‘EA’ to talk primarily about longtermist EA. Hopefully this won’t annoy too many people).
This seems dangerous to me. There are many EAs that are not longtermist and it is not even clear whether the majority is longtermist (see e.g., here).
You could just as easily use an acronym like LT-EA or just say Longtermism. By trying to redefine it in this way, you needlessly alienate people.
I’d suggest “LEA,” which is almost as easy to type as EA.
