For the most part I only see two ways to avoid Eternal September: 1) Stay small and/or incredibly focused. This is effectively security through anonymity, but having a strong central theme with good moderation can stave off the seemingly endless shitposting. 2) Flee the sinking ship. Once a site starts to go downhill, there's really very little chance of it truly recovering. The people running the show either think it's a good thing (Yay, more traffic!) or they're asleep at the wheel, which should shake your confidence.
