It was used in the Felicifia community, although it wasn't used as definitively as it is now. Although 'strategic altruism' was more common although that wasn't as catchy. It was also just used in casual conversation.

I could be wrong though.

It was used in the Felicifia community

The first mention I find on the Felicifia site is from 2012.

(As a check, the first entry I find for "suffering" is 2007.)

(And trying this search with Felicifia's search tool gives "The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: altruism effective.")
