Conversational decay refers to the amount of time it takes for a conversation with a stranger to die down to stagnation.
In-person:
Let's say you met someone from your class or work for the first time and start talking about mutual interests, the decay of that conversation wouldn't be as quick. Therefore, it's reasonable to state that the conversational decay would be somewhere between 30 minutes to an hour.
Online:
If you meet someone on Discord for the first time and start a regular conversation with them, it is estimated that it may take between 1 minute to a few weeks for your conversation to completely stagnate with them.

When two or more people are smoking a cigarette outside and feel obligated to strike up a conversation. It is a dynamic that occurs outside many bars, and feels oddly comfortable.

When a complete asshole takes over a private conversation already in progress an ignores one of the people previously in the conversation.
If one does this to his friends, he will soon have none.

Jason is hanging out with Seth and Brad and just talking about whatever. John comes in and starts talking about other shit that Jason isn't a part of, forcing him out of the conversation.
Eventually, Seth and Brad catch on that he is robbing the conversation and they beat the snot out of John.

If I had known we were going to break up via twitter, I would've asked for a classic conversation.
After all of the sexting, the classic conversation was a little weird.
My boss is old school. Doesn't do email and always wants a classic conversation.

Lou had his annual physical, and after fasting he was in a very grumpy mood. when his doctor got to the point of "the finger", Lou felt him fishing around up there like he lost his keys. "so how the kids doing? everybody good? hmm... does that hurt" the doc asked during a very Conversational Probe. Lou thought to himself, "you have your finger in my ass what do u think dude"
