According to Webster, his adopted mom's Susan Clark. B.I. digress....
TMI.
According to Larry Nemecek, the preferred abbreviation on staff was VGR for Voyager.
Without trying to repeat too much of what @Tosk and others have said…

- I use LD but LDS is fine
- I used to use VGR but long ago went to VOY
- I’ve been using ACA for Academy but SFA could work
- LEG or LGC work for me but LGY kinda doesn’t
- I usually refer to the Kelvin universe or the JJ-verse and don’t abbreviate it
- I break up the periods as TOS, the Berman Era or 90s Trek, and contemporary Trek. nuTrek doesn’t work for me as it will surely shift again and then what do you call it?

It's not perfect, but there isn't really a better three-letter abbreviation available.
ACA would make sense if the title was Star Trek: Academy but IMO doesn't make sense for the two word title and let's face it it's pretty common in the fandom to use SF as an abbreviation for Starfleet (rather than IMO UFPS or UES as applicable for the whole organisation and a further shortening to S* for individual components like SI or SCE)
Oh that’s interesting. I hadn’t realized that it was called Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. I thought it was in fact Star Trek: Academy. SFA makes more sense now.
Sorry, but, that's not going to stop me from writing "VOY".
Personally, as long as it's clear what someone is referring to, I don't really care what abbreviation they use, and I don't think it matters.
I would never write "STD" (I prefer "DISCO")*, but... meh.
* - "DSC" and "DIS" are also fine.
