Track in Real Time What People Are Giving Up for Lent in 2022

Monday, February 28th, 2022

See the top 100 things people are giving up for Lent in 2022 on Twitter, continually updated through March 4, 2022. You can also use the Historical Lent Tracker to see trends since 2009, though 2022 is still in flux, so I wouldn’t draw any conclusions about 2022 yet.

As I write this post, with about 530 tweets analyzed, perennial favorites “twitter,” “alcohol,” and “social networking” lead the list, with “masks” ranking right now at #4 (related to some countries dropping mask requirements for the COVID-19 pandemic).

Look for the usual post-mortem on March 5, 2022.
