Yeah,
Anti-seize works great. There's a decent shop here in Milwaukee that uses nothing but antiseize on all it's seatposts, bottom brackets, anywhere there's not actually moving parts (bearings) but anywhere things are clamped or threaded together.
It's made specifically to prevent metals from "cold welding" together, which as you fairly accurately put it is actually corroding together of unlike metals.
Rubberside down.
