I disagree about the 'm.domain' convention; it's good and useful. I like the ability to retrieve a mobile site on my desktop, and vice versa. Sometimes I'll be on a site that's difficult to read on mobile, and speculatively try the 'm.domain' - often it will work. When the site itself tries to autodetect what device I'm using, it often makes a poor decision that is not subject to appeal.

On the downside, the m subdomain makes for terrible social media posting.

E.g. a commenter using Wikipedia's mobile site posts a link to said page and desktop viewers are unexpectedly taken to the mobile, not desktop, page.

And Google decision makes it even worse by making the incorrect display incomprehensible.
