I noticed a few weeks ago that they had a warning banner up saying that
they were going to remove their legacy pages altogether as of the middle
of December, and now they have presumably done it. I don't think
faking the user agent will help - they have simply stopped providing the
service.

(I tried with Otter-browser and got nothing but a log-in request; I
don't have a Twitter account so couldn't log in.)
