What type of behavior do you intend to engage in on your alt, and why wouldn’t you want that behavior associated with your main?
Worst undercover cop ever?

This isn't a throwaway account per se but I do have another account on lemmy.ml for interacting with other communities. This account (and this instance) is focused on free software and free culture advocacy. It's not really about embarrassing behavior, but more about compartmentalizing interests.
A valid use for a throwaway would be to ask a sensitive question that you don't want to be traced back to any of your main identities. This would be a question that is asked once, answered once, and never revisited again. There would be no need for it to be associated with any of my identities.
