Warning: If you switch between the markdown and WYSIWYG editor, certain kinds of data washes away

So … is there a way to turn this thing off? I can’t seem to determine a means to do so.

You can set Joplin to use the "traditional" markdown editor / viewer and then hide the "code view" button so you cannot accidentally press it and trigger WYSIWYG.

Explained here:

Feature Feedback: Pre-release 1.0.207

@derikb If WYSIWYG is REALLY not for you, you can: Start Joplin and, if not already visible, toggle the Code View button so that the Layout button we are all used to is visible on the toolbar. As @laurent says, Joplin will remember this as your selected default from then on. Then, add the below to userchrome.css a.button[title="Code View"] { display: none !important; } Quit and restart Joplin. This will remove the Code View button from the toolbar so for you Joplin will look pretty muc…

As WYSIWYG is no longer an option in the View > Layout Button Sequence menu it is, to all intents and purposes, disabled.

I'm not "anti-WYSIWYG" I just prefer the markdown / viewer pane combo to create and edit notes.
