$(document).on("ajaxComplete", function( event ) {
    $('a.user-group').each(function() {
        $(this).replaceWith("<div class='user-group'>" + $(this).html() + "</div>" );
    });
});
</script>

However, JS can be broken with any Discourse update. I’d like to see a new group setting to disable linking the title to a group.
