Hi Tim,
Here’s the alternative, note that the contents here needs to go in an initializer JS file in a component. You can see a simple example of a full component structure here.

import { withPluginApi } from "discourse/lib/plugin-api";
import { getOwner } from "discourse-common/lib/get-owner";
import { schedule } from "@ember/runloop";
import { htmlSafe } from "@ember/template";

export default {
  name: "tester-initializer",

  initialize() {
    withPluginApi("0.8", (api) => {
      const currentUser = api.getCurrentUser();

      if (currentUser) {
        const userGroups = currentUser.groups.map((group) => group.name);
        let showPopup = false;

        switch (true) {
          case userGroups.includes("admins"):
            showPopup = true;
            break;
        }

        if (!showPopup) {
          return;
        }

        const alertHeading = "Oh no!";
        const alertBody =
          'Your account is currently restricted and you no longer have access to valuable resources. <a href="https://meta.discourse.org">Click here</a> for more information.';

        schedule("afterRender", () => {
          // delay needed so that the dialog service is loaded
          const dialog = getOwner(this).lookup("service:dialog");
          dialog.alert({
            message: htmlSafe(alertBody),
            title: alertHeading,
          });
        });
      }
    });
  },
};

Hope this helps.
