Can i report without evidence?

as one of the instance mod/admin's I'd say that evidence would help expedite the report process but it's totally optional

depending on what the thing being reported is sometimes evidence isn't needed

for anything that's blatantly negative/unpleasant, evidence isn't typically needed when reporting a post/comment
for anything else that someone might find subtly "off", 2 pieces of evidence could help us figure out what's wrong
- as a systems analyst having as much information to determine what happened and how things got to this way can help others and myself determine what the best way forward could be
- for example some users might just need a warning/clarification based on my own interactions
